Lesson 5.6: Trust/Flow

What does it mean to trust? (N. firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something. V. believe in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of [yourself]).

What does focus mean? (To pay particular attention to)

Example: Tiger Wood’s was the first very young golfer to approach being the greatest golfer of all time. Show what he does: He’ll first block out all distractions. Close his eyes, swing and picture the ball where he wants it to go. While doing this he is finding the perfect swing. There is only one shot. It is at this point that he knows exactly how he needs to hit the ball.

Flow is the convergence of focus and trusting yourself at the same time.

Did he get the ability to be “in flow” yesterday? The answer is no. He practiced everyday for hours to be able to retrieve the mechanics needed so that he could call upon them at will.

Lesson 5.7: Dreaming

Watch "100 Kids Tell...."
Each of these kids is picturing (Imaging) a future based on their ideas of what they want.
Imaging a a skill that sometimes we forget how to do.
Do the "30 second activity"
Discuss your 30 seconds.
You have to be able to see in your mind's eye what you want before you get what you want.
It gives you the "why" for our daily activities.
If you could be anything you wanted and knew that you would not fail, image it for the next 30 seconds. Include what you need to work on now and plot your course.
Map out your plan!
