Mental Strength Tip #3 – Immense Capacity for Concentration

Objective:

To help you advance your beliefs in reference to the significance of mental strength and sustained concentration.

In my experience individuals that have reached their peak in personal success and personal performance all have an immense capacity for concentration (sustained mental strength)

Getting Started

Let’s take a look at your perspective around the importance of sustained focus and get a feel for how you think about this concept OK?

If you haven’t been doing so for the past Mental Strength tips I would go ahead and start a journal.  In there write all the questions below and answer them.  When I say answer then, don’t simply answer them for the sake of getting this exercise done; answer them so that you can find out more about yourself.

After all if I were coaching you live you’d be discussing and writing the answers down 🙂

Mental Strength Questions to Uncover Your Beliefs

1. On a scale of one1 – 7, 7 being the highest, how would you rate your level of focus and discipline when it comes to sticking to a long-term goal?
2. Why did you rate yourself at this number?
3. How important is sustained focus and concentration to personal success?

The Average Persons Thinking and Beliefs about Sustained Concentration

1. I can concentrate on a lot of different goals still get world-class results
2. I’m good a multi-tasking
3. I’m too busy to narrow my focus into a single objective
4. It’s hard to concentrate because my life is so hectic

Warrior Mindset about Sustained Concentration

1. Sustained concentration and laser focus on a single objective or critical to optimum success.
2. The clarity for sustained concentration comes from selecting the single most important objective you want to focus on.  The drive comes from the passion you feel to achieve the goal.
3. Put the goals you “like” on the back burner.  But the goals you “love” as your top priority.
4. W.I.N is used often (What’s Important Now)

Revealing Questions

1. Do your results show you have more interest in sustained pleasure or delayed gratification?
2. What is your most impressive example of the time you used sustained concentration to achieve an objective?
3. Name three objectives you have focused on and achieved in the last three years.

Reflective Questions

1. How can you improve your ability to concentrate on an important task to its completion?
2. How can I help you decide what your most important goal(s) of the next 12 months should be?
3. What skills do you need to build or develop in order to develop warrior mental strength and concentration?

Coaching for Personal Development

1. What is the single most important goal or objective you wish to achieve in the next 12 months?  This may help…identify which goal will help you move closer to the manifestation of your vision.
2. What activities do you need to eliminate or suspend in order to focus on achieve the chosen goal?

Final Thought

Sustained concentration much be coached and achieve in incremental steps.  Remember, many of us have been raised in the age of computers, microwaves and videogames.  The younger you are the more likely you’ve been “conditioned” for a shorter attention span.  This typical mindset is of instant gratification, and if a person doesn’t get it, they’ll turn their focus elsewhere.  This is a formula for failure! It’s my job as your coach to help you break this habit and create the mental strength of a warrior so that you can achieve your peak personal performance and personal success.

Oh yea…one last item.  You do know what FOCUS stands for right?
