Past VS Present – NO FAILURE ZONE
Have any of you been to an Escape Room with friends or family? I think they are a great metaphor for life on this planet. You are posed with challenges, obstacles, clues to get from one room to the next till you finally escape, and it takes a team to figure it the solution. Many […]
The POWER of BELIEFS – NO FAILURE ZONE
The Power of Beliefs is our greatest personal power. It is literally about creating a state of mind over matter. I enjoy telling my clients if you don’t mind, it don’t matter. Why not adopt a new and empowering belief? If you believe you will fail then you will. Your brain always wants to be […]
See, Hear, Feel what’s your modality – NO FAILURE ZONE
We have multiple modalities, all readily observable in our speech patterns. If I say things like “you have a bright future ahead of you” or “that gal has a very dark nature about her” I am using a visual modality, the first example (“bright”) gives an empowering focus and feeling, while the second (“dark”) leaves […]
Better Questions, Better Focus – NO FAILURE ZONE
You can change your state of emotion and your focus with better questions. Instead of saying “Why did so-and-so screw me over like that?” and that unleashing all that disempowering anger and frustration, try asking this question instead “How can I improve upon this situation? You will soon come up with more positive actions to […]
Release & Refocus – NO FAILURE ZONE
When we focus on that which we are trying to avoid we inevitably head right for it. The fear has a seemingly magnetic attraction. It is like losing control of your car and staring straight at the telephone pole you are heading towards, clenching the wheel in a death grip. You have to release that […]
No laughing matter, why not? – NO FAILURE ZONE
I am going to wager that we have all had some sort of event in our past where the cliche “look back on it and laugh” applies. Well what if an event like that happened today, right now? Would you be frustrated, or overwhelmed, angry or resentful? What if you were to just laugh at […]
Let’s get physical – NO FAILURE ZONE
We discussed changing your focus, now let’s talk about using physiology to change state. Your state is your emotions in the present moment. Taking a “Superman” or “Wonderwoman” stance, i.e., hands on hips, chest out, chin held high can change your state to one of confidence. Now elevate the chin more and hold a huge […]
Hocus Focus – NO FAILURE ZONE
A cool fact; you can only think a single thought at a time. Oh yeah, we have all experienced at one time or another the phenomenon of “monkey brain”, a seemingly serial onslaught of random and worrisome thoughts – like a brain storm (vs a brainstorm). In retraining the brain it is highly desirable to […]
What are you waiting for? – NO FAILURE ZONE
I will be happy when… I have the perfect job, children, mate, when I have enough money or retired. That’s not my list and I hope it is not yours, because guess what, someday may never come. Practice being present in the moment and being grateful for what you have right now.
STATEmentality – NO FAILURE ZONE
Performance, behavior, thoughts and feelings are all directly correlated to your state of emotion, your mental state. Astonishing outcomes can occur when you are in peak state, pumped, psyched up, excited. When I was running high school and college track I went through a ritual of warmup, stretching, closed eye envisioning of sprinting down the […]
