Rapid Decision Making - Make Judgments Efficiently

Are you a runner looking for ways to increase your running endurance?

Do you struggle with those times when you feel like just giving up and coming to a stop?

If you get cramps or a strain or some other injury then of course it's wise to stop and rest rather than keep on.

But if you hear that insistent little voice in your head tempting you to stop, saying "Come on! Why bother? Just stop! Nobody will know!" you might want to know how to get it to shut up so you can keep going.

Of course, the more you run, the greater your stamina will be, but it can still feel tough sometimes to keep on when you feel like stopping. This is when the psychological aspects of running really come into their own. This is when you have to 'dig deep' in order to tap into the well within and draw on your capacity to endure and reach your goal, no matter what.

In society today, there is much pressure to 'achieve your potential', and an expectation that you actually have the potential to excel in something, anything.

Failure, or even mediocrity, is not a option if you want to 'live the dream' and be successful.  Not living up to your potential goes with many negative, unhelpful feelings - disappointment, fear, guilt or frustration to name a few.

All these negative emotions and fear makes it less likely that you'll achieve what you want to, trapping you and sapping your energy.

Somehow, you have to break out of this trap and make your own way in the world, with energy and enthusiasm, and a healthy disregard for risk and negative self-talk

How does an Olympic sprinter look on the starting blocks?

Distracted? Dreamy? Confused?

No. You're looking at CONCENTRATION. Powerful... unshakeable... rock solid... FOCUS.

But it's more than mere concentration; his attention is like a laser-beam focused on one single exclusive thing - winning. Psychologists call this state of pure concentration, totally free of all outside distraction, 'flow'.

And peak performers in all walks of life can access it when they want.

Hypnosis is a powerful tool for positive change but do you ever wish you could visualize better?

Maybe you've listened to hypnotic sessions before and been relaxed but found it hard to actually visualize the suggested scenes and experiences.

It seems that some people naturally find it harder to visualize, and it maybe that you're more comfortable using other senses.

What's your predominant sense?
