Health or wealth?

Question:
Dala Lama was asked what surprised him most about humanity

Answer:
Mankind because ...

• He sacrifices his health in order to make money
• Then he sacrifices his money to recuperate his health
• Then he's so worried about the future he does not enjoy the present
• The result being he does not live in the present or in the future
• He lives as if he's never going to die
• and dies never having really lived

Receive Team GB support

The question is..."is it all in your mind"?

I have had an amazing summer! I was privileged to go to several events at the Olympics. As I am sure you heard, the atmosphere was amazing. This had a major impact on the athletes resulting in a record number of British winning medals. It is this phenomenon which I would like to explore today:

It brought home to me the power of our minds. Arguably the difference between our athletes in Beijing and in London was not significant physically. The fundamental difference was the support. The support had a huge positive impact just by influencing their minds.

How can we utilise the incredible power of our minds on a daily basis to perform higher than we are currently achieving, through support?

Find your Team GB supporters

Support comes in many guises and although most of us won't be lucky enough to enjoy thousands of people chanting our name in encouragement, here are some great ways to ensure you have the support you deserve:

1. Family - For the luckiest amongst us we are able to receive and provide unconditional love and support to/from our family. Lead by example and offer encouragement daily.
2. Friends – Cherish your friends, be their "Team GB" and surround yourself with people who happily boost and encourage you.
3. Coaches – You will receive support and encouragement from a coach and increase your self-belief. For example, people who work with me, without necessarily improving their natural ability, increase their confidence, strive for more and achieve greater results.

In my experience, a coach has a similar impact to a cheering crowd (albeit not so loud!). If you would like to benefit from this, please ring me on 07764 235394 to discuss how I can help you.

I would love to hear your thoughts on the incredible power of the mind, support and the Olympics at so please leave your comments below:

PS There are other ways to boost our minds but I am leaving those techniques for another time.
