Where Winning Starts in the Mind.
It's a fact that sports gold medals go to the athlete with the stronger mind. Great athletes attribute their success to calm minds during times of intense pressure. The moment they tense up, (physically or emotionally), their performance rapidly declines.
In hypnotherapy, the conscious mind is the weaker, rational mind. The subconscious is where all the strength and potential for achievement lies. When an athlete doubts or under performs, the conscious mind is allowed to rule. A good example of the weaker mind in charge is when a player loses to less experienced opponents.
Remember those moments when you performed way beyond your expectations and made every shot perfect? It's likely that your conscious mind had stepped aside for a moment then, and permitted your subconscious to reveal a hint of its potential. Hypnotic conditioning can develop this potential and enable you to repeat these peak performances more frequently thus raising your performance level.
Hypnosis can help you eliminate your mental obstacles and identify your limiting beliefs. It can help you retain positive thinking patterns even when there is doubt. You will then be able to compete with a cool, clear mind, without anxiety. You will be able to focus on the task at hand and not be distracted by fear or worry of the outcome. Your mind and body will be able to work harmoniously instead of conflict.
