Hi Kira Leskew here. To make any successful and lasting change in your life you need
to do one really important thing first, and I'm gonna give you a quick tip on
what this is in five minutes or less so stay tuned.
Well there's one thing you can do today to improve your concentration in your
life. Do you think that's doing a training program, shutting off your phone
eating less carbs, getting more sleep? Well most likely some or all of these things
would really help, and I actually recommend that you do them but they
aren't the first thing or the most important thing. The most important thing
you can do to improve your concentration is to admit that it isn't where you want
it to be and to take responsibility for it.
Yup! That's it. Simple... Own the problem and even though this is really easy to do
and more importantly it feels good to do and actually kind of flies in the face
of conventional wisdom. Most people would say to come up with a bunch of reasons
as to why things the way they are. And to you kind of sort of factors that are
causing this or give you a huge to do list to fix this.
Don't do that. Just own it and I totally agree that there are many outside
factors that can hamper your ability to concentrate. But when you own the issue, you
now have the power to fix it and your personal power is way bigger than any
particular condition in your life so do this right now. If you can, go to a mirror,
it's even more powerful. But if you can't, get yourself in front of a mirror, just give
yourself some space to think.
Ready? Alright now imagine the consequence of something that happened
in your life that is a result of your poor concentration. Maybe it was
a project that was late or not that well done...maybe it was missing something
important with a customer, maybe it was working late to redo something and you
missed a date with your significant other or maybe your child. Maybe you're
just running around way
way too much for the level of results that you're getting. Now say to yourself: I did that.
Yep. Look yourself right in the eye in the mirror and say I did that.
Wow! I bet that felt good. Not because there's anything wrong with you. No, on
the contrary, it feels so good because when we take responsibility for any
result in our life we are acknowledging that we are in charge, and that feels great.
This is not an admission of guilt.
This is an acknowledgement of your innate power to be in charge of your
life and you are in charge and your mind just totally loves it when you
acknowledge it.
Doing this is like the equivalent of trying to drive your car from the
passenger seat, and getting out of the car and getting in the driver's seat.
It's so much easier to drive when you're in the driver's seat
knowing where you wanna go. Ok so now what... Once you own the issue of poor concentration
without any guilt, you are now mentally and emotionally in charge and you can
change it, so congratulations! Now you get to decide what to do about it, and I have
a suggestion. Choose to have excellent concentration. To help you out with that,
I have a lot of resources on my website for developing your mental skills for
business performance. So check out the links in the cards for this video and in
