Improving Your Performance

The first step towards improving your performance is Awareness.  What is it you are looking to improve? Why?  These questions are important and helpful to understand your motivation.  Your goal may be simply to achieve your ideal weight for health reasons or to be able to play with your children or grandchildren.  That's fine.

The Simple Steps to Improve Your Performance -

1. Write it down. Whatever you want to achieve take the step of writing it down.  I am millionaire,  I weigh 170 pounds,  I am healthy, I am an excellent student, I am a marathoner.  The task of writing it down takes it from your mind, or the mental and places the goal in the physical.  By putting the goal on paper, you have made it more real.  Get in the habit of continually writing it down whatever the current status.

2. See it.  Use your imagination to see yourself already accomplishing your goal. Visualize yourself getting on the scale and seeing your ideal weight,  shooting your best score on the golf course, or running across the finish line.

3. Say it.  Affirm your goals.  Say it out load, say it silently, but be sure to state it.  Share it with friends or keep it to yourself.

4. Begin it.  The most important step to achieving any goal or improving our performance is to begin.  Start and commit to achieving your goal.  The journey of a 1000 miles begins with one step. When you begin, don't put pressure on yourself with the need to see fast results.  Be patient, enjoy the process, stay in the moment.  The journey is more important than the destination.

5. Ask for help.  We have a divine essence that enables us to overcome any challenge or obstacle.  When we humble ourselves and ask for help miraculous thing can happen. Find a friend. Find someone that will support you, that will pick you up when you fall, that will help motivate you.  A friend or even a stranger wants to see you succeed and will help you immensely.  The human spirit is alive and well, and there is a divine bond that connects us all.  There are resources available to all of us that we can't even fathom. 

With Love,
