Mental Training to the MAX!!!!

Ever heard of a "scatoma","efficacy", "potential", or "conditioning"? I am going to give you a quick explanation of each because each is as important to each other. All of these terms will bring out the best in each and every one of you if you think hard about them and work with them.

SCATOMA- is a blind spot that holds you back from experiencing experiences. They are good. They allow you to concentrate because they block out things you don't want to see or hear. You may be seeing a lot more things than you realise because you aren't looking for them. If you were looking for the ketchup in the fridge, would you notice that there was no bread in the fridge to make a sandwich later?

EFFICACY-If you believe in something so badly, good chance that it will happen. It is like dreaming big. I really want that car. What am I going to do to get it? Go back to school to get a better job, work more hours at work, don't spend as much money on things that you don't really need. Reach for your dreams!!!

POTENTIAL-What are you really capable of. What can you be? What is your true potential? Not what you have been told you can be, but what you believe you can be.

CONDITIONING-What you were raised like? What are you going to make yourself into? Your past conditioning influences how you see things now.

Here is a poem that I found that relates to how mental training works!! I'm not sure who wrote this but they were very wise.

                                                                   
                                                                        DON'T QUIT

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill
When the funds are low and debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but just don't quit

Life is weird with its twists and turns
As everyone of us sometimes learns
And many a failure turns about
When we might have won had we stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow
You may succeed with another blow

Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
And you never can tell how close you are
It may be near when it seems so far
So stick to the fight when you're the hardest hit
It's when things seem worse, that you must not quit

*************************************************************************************

It's not necessarily the amount of time that you spend at your workout that counts; it's what you put into your workout.

Passion is power.....
Nothing was ever achieved without it.
And nothing can take the place of it.
No matter what you face in life,
If your passion is great enough,
You will find the strength to succeed.

Wisdom is knowing what to do next,
Skill is knowing how to do it,
And virtue is doing it!!!!
