The Power of Focus – NO FAILURE ZONE
Focus is very, very powerful. Yesterday I was focused on many things, many of them were rather unpleasant, and some had a deadline. Bottom line was about 9:45 PM I was reminded it was my son’s 18th birthday. And at one point in the afternoon after school he even reminded me about an appointment I […]
The Juice – NO FAILURE ZONE
There seem to be a few times a year when I just feel tired in every way: mental, emotional, physical and even spiritual. I know unfortunates that feel like that every day. When this happens I have to dig really deep in the coaching tool box. A shift in focus is needed and the most […]
Direction and Focus- NO FAILURE ZONE
In the 1980’s-1990’s I used to drive from the San Fernando Valley through Lancaster on F-Street to Edwards Air Force Base to work on rocket engines abs launch programs. F-Street was a long 2-lane straightaway through the desert and many a person (including myself) would put the “pedal to the metal”. 125+ was pretty typical. […]
Physiology and Focus – NO FAILURE ZONE
I am not like most my age. I train my mind abs body hard. I challenge my spirit. I do this because I have learned that if you are not growing then you are dying. Life presents many opportunities for me to complain about, or causes for unhappiness, some of them are even real, and […]
Just Smile – NO FAILURE ZONE
There’s a song with the lyrics “when you’re smiling, when you’re smiling, the whole world smiles with you”. But guess what many of us will go entire days without smiling at all! We are so focused on other things, disempowering things, that we just don’t smile. I coach and council many persons whom are just […]
Physical Change – NO FAILURE ZONE
Vaping, smoking, boozing, drugging, overeating, under-eating, sleeping, pornography, running, working out, walking, hiking, swimming, skating, dancing, singing, they all have one thing in common. They change your physical state or physiology, and do so by changing your biochemistry. Obviously one group has a lot of other disempowering outcomes. If we were to take a brain […]
Mood Swings- NO FAILURE ZONE
I want you to have mood swings, intentionally. That’s right. Close your eyes and Focus on just one memory in your life when you were on top of the world, unstoppable, joyous. See the day, hear the sounds, smell the scents in the air, feel the temperature on your skin. Breathe the way you were […]
Operating in Peak State- NO FAILURE ZONE
Running on all cylinders. Seemingly superhuman ability. Incredible mental composure. We see this athletes all the time, probably will in the Super Bowl tomorrow. We also see it in Martial Artists, in Chess players, in soldiers. But guess what? You can have Peak State anytime you want it. That’s right, you can program for peak […]
Breaking Procrastination – NO FAILURE ZONE
Procrastination is a painful habit or pattern. It is putting off something considered painful till a later time. It will usually result in more pain. It’s really rather simple to break out of this pattern with a bit of writing. Make a list of the things you put off. Maybe it’s a conversation you should […]
Leverage and Power Shift – NO FAILURE ZONE
Sometimes we reach an impasse, a place where it is too painful to make a decision one way or another, and we do nothing. We feel that this is all there is to life and resign ourselves to pain and misery. To this I say GREAT! FANTASTIC! In coaching we call this a pivot point, […]
