What does it mean to have conscious intent?
To be fully engaged and intentionally focused is a critical ingredient for improving performance.
Maintaining a clear focus when everything becomes hazy with fatigue and stress is certainly some thing I practice.
It is something that I work on while engaged in any activity, in fact that is the greatest part you can practice it any time.
Being clear about what, how and why creates a purposeful performance and intention is that capacity to transfer thought in to action.
It is easy to switch off and go through the motions, but to stay present and aware is a challenge, at least initially.
That's why I love training by myself sometimes, it enables me to practice finding that clarity and to apply thought or mental image to action.
Reflection is important to ensure that what you intent is realised and it is upon reflection that insights are gained about how to improve each session, each stroke, each race and each season.
Clear intention is like a laser. It penetrates through the power of unity. A diffused athlete is more likely to under perform than an athlete who is clear, driven and focused.
Another blog post that I keep coming back to read.
Now that we are back from Macau, it is a good time to reflect on what was achieved and how it was done ..
