Focus on the process

The only way to achieve ‘the zone’ that many of us pursue like a holy grail, is to focus on the journey or the moments as they pass.

Enjoy what you’re doing

When we (coaches and athletes) enjoy what we are doing, we are much more likely to be engaged, focused and have a synergy between the mind and body that will allow for efficient physical and psychological performance.

Gauge success by preparation and performance, not the outcome

Measuring success by what is controllable allows a foundation for the two previous tips to manifest.  If the only gauge of success is winning or losing a contest, then we are unlikely to be in a position where we can maintain a present-moment focus, or enjoy what we are doing.

What’s The Difference Between Fear and Fear of Fear?

Fear vs Fear from Fear

People’s fears generally fell into two categories. First, there are survival fears: fear of death, fear of heights, fear of losing a loved one or not making enough money to provide for your family. These kinds of fears are what author Karl Albrecht calls “extinction” fears.

Then there are perception fears: the fear of failure, embarrassment, or missing out on life experiences (that is, FOMO). These fears fall under the category of “ego-death,” which Albrecht calls a “shattering or disintegration of one’s constructed sense of lovability, capability, and worthiness.”

Simply recognizing them for what they are can help us create some distance between ourselves and our emotions, allowing for more clear-headed thinking.

Listening to a recording

Some musicians like to listen to recordings of a piece before learning it. Others like to learn pieces from the score first. Is one approach better than the other? The results of the study seem pretty clear, but it may still be interesting to debate whether listening first is always the best approach in the long run.
