Mental State
What does that really mean? We always hear that successful individuals are “mentally tough”. Does that mean the “mentally tough” person focuses only on the task and nothing else?
Mental state as defined in AMP IT UP, Train Your Brain for Success is a condition. It is a balance of eagerness to learn, a mind void of unnecessary thought, positive attitude, proper preparation, and a firm belief in the task and/or goal you want to achieve. It is a calm, fully aware, fully relaxed yet ready for action feeling. Having the proper mental state is like setting the table for a meal of peak performance.
The question is, how do we achieve our best mental state to perform at our highest levels? The proper mental state is not a one size fits all concept. We need to identify in ourselves the “triggers” that place us into this performance ready condition.
What do you do to prepare yourself mentally? What are your triggers?
Reflect on your recent success as well as your dissapointments and share your story.
