There are advisors that suggest how to think.
Thinking is just a small portion of performance, most will even say remove the thinking and anyone would perform really well, and yes that is true.
The quest to enhance performance is to understand what affects performance.
Thinking consists of several variables,
using the words, connected with sensory channels of sounds, images and feelings allow someone to compare different information based data that affect the decisionmaking your engage when making a decision.
In any decision there is a comparsion made, even when its fully automatic, then the 1:1 relationship is what is to be done and then do it.
When someone enters flow, a perfect moment of zen or such examples of being in a bubble able to just perform the way its described is the same.
I demonstrated this in classes, that when someone enters flow, and such states their thinking do NOT stop.
They still thinking, however, now it does not affect their performance.
Their state of focused attention are in a higher charged state which if someone spends some time there will affect weight a lot due to the burning required to be in such a high peak performance state.
We can then conclude that thinking and the thinking is done in a not peak performance state will affect the performance BUT when its a flow state it will not, it might but that requires a lot of strain to do.
So, then the state are more important than the thinking to do it right.
Reacting to stimuli are faster than thinking what it is and then react.
The thinking is made from a confused state, trying to make sense what is going on, the reaction is faster when just reacting.
Training oneself you must be able to step into a high performance state, allow for a full elicitation to be made and then keep the state stable connected to the beliefs that allow a full performance to be made that is futurebased.
The reason is that the futurebased one allows improvement over time where the past referenced would create stagnation.
Your performance would drop ever so slightly and the competition would sooner or later catch up.
Thinking is made with images, sounds and feelings and then the words that are used. When people get angry they make often colors and red is one often used within, and the words people use often are used in an intensed state.
Ever been there?
Never been able to map what is going on as your into such a state?
Ever tried to talk sense to someone in a angered state?
No question asked there, to map and handle such states are to do it when someone is not in that state.
States and their thinking that with the proper beliefs and expectations of beliefs are a cause-effect soup where the result triggers a belief about expected behaviour and the feelings starts to rise and this often are where people have high expectations of themselves and when not perform according to their beliefs creates intense anger or similiar feelings.
Handling emotions are about handling how you think when things happen and create a awareness of how its all beliefs and expectations that creates this using a comparsion.
Setting a belief about your performance, futurebased, sets a new context, a new bubble if you like where you can put in anything that is needed to perform like the belief expects.
It also allows a sorting out to take place, anything that limits your performance is sorted out and all you need to keep track of is the feedback your having when being in your own bubble.
This creates a new context to form inside your mind, your now highly charged peak performance state with the emotions that supports this with the beliefs, with the skills and the practice made is done from this supported context.
Your in essence told your brain this,
I want to perform as this belief suggests using this state with the appropriate skills and emotions with the thinking that follows along.
Your brain not able to make any decisions about if its real or not just respond to the instructions.
Our brain is that simple.
The brain just do what it is told or showed, hypnosis have been used to show this over and over again.
That under hypnosis people can see, smell and hallucinate freely to things that is not in the room.
However, if we add a belief that it is not possible to be hypnotised and do such things then that belief will make sure that does not happen.
So if we do this, using our thinking to plan how to perform we are setting the appropriate context of whats crucial to have when performing.
Limitations of any kind must be sorted out, must be set aside and establish a pure clean context of your enhanced performance state.
Thinking then is best done before and after performance, while your performing all the thinking can do is to keep track of your actions so it works as it was set up.
Its possible to shift this depending on what your performing is about,
if playing golf there are a number of moments when adjustments can be made between shots. If its 100meter race, its not do good to think when running.
The state shift must be clean, adjusted and then sorted into the context of performance, and then tested.
Keeping the context of performance free of thinking allows an even better performance to be made over time.
The brain works simply and the habitual forming of pathways in the brain grows bigger and fire of stronger and stronger impulses.
This means, do the set up properly.
Its all about doing it right and correct from the start, if that is done which will take a little more time, all that is needed later is to enter the state which happens automatically due to the entering of the context now are connected fully.
Bad thinking is belief based.
It shift your state and you perform worse. The bad thinking creates emotions of confusion, doubt, anger, nervousness, uncertianity and so on
Beliefs are the power behind your performance, make sure your using the proper ones.
Its impossible to perform at the optimized level if your thinking is not sorted out properly before your going to perform and under.
I meet people who say, I played really well that day, but it was a fluke, I am not that good normally.
I hear golfers say, I played better than I am.
Now, if someone plays that well, isnt they as good in that moment?
Sure they are but they believe they aint so good, and then they start to loose that ability to play that well.
Their belief starts to remove them from that fluke.
I didnt know how this all worked many years ago, but using NLP and a lot of research I made over the years I believe I found out how this works togheter.
As you have been reading this blogg you notice beleifs are important to get right, and I set them first, for my golf this summer I set the belief about my level of play that is futurebased.
This allows my brain to know the difference between my game as it has been and how it is.
And how it should be.
No, I did not set my state first, I set the belief, then I set the state in how I wanted to play golf my way.
Then I looked at the skills I needed to have to perform like that.
This is information seeking.
Then what is needed is a plan.
Then what happens is practice, feedback in testing if the improvements continue along the path set.
Since I did the above I found,
books that helps me define the practice, ordering DVD´s that covers the whole game, swingtechnique of the one that promise a 20 times faster learning to play well.
Due to winter here still I havent been able to practice that much but the small things I been able to practice have allowed an improvement.
So, thinking is knowing how to plan for optimizing the performance you want to have.
