The baseball season has started again and the Denver Post had a couple of great articles about the mental part of the game. There are several quotes here that are useful for the non baseball people:
"Ronn Svetich,
the Rockies' mental skills coach, is a sounding board, if not a
lighthouse, for the Rockies. He talks to players one-on-one, from the
stars to the prospects, trying in many cases to undo what they've been
taught by their parents and coaches. From a young age, we are taught
what not to do, as opposed to what to do, he said"
This is something that is heard every day no matter where you are, don't do this, or don't do that, clearly it's better to say to people when this happens or you feel this, then do this or consider doing this. To do this will take a lot of practice, I would recommend concentrating on one thing and getting really good at it, then applying it to different situations after that.
For example, if you are trying to save money or showing others how to save money, you might find yourself saying don't waste money on this, don't be late paying that, don't forget to do this, don't forget this is important. Turn those things around to allow yourself 5% for non essential spending, take 10% and put it into savings as soon as you get your paycheck, pay bills at least 3 days before due etc can you feel the difference?
