Go Up To Go Out

When we perform anything in life there is optimum efficiency and there is unbalanced inefficiency.

One of the key factors of being in the "zone" is going up to go out. I don't know if this is something that you have heard before maybe similar. The idea is that what you do on a moment to moment basis intentionally has initial vision attached to it.

I have done various sports through the years, and they a lot of people can relate to them as an example. The times that I have really played well is when I saw myself doing well ahead of time, then I enjoyed running toward my vision of what I saw.

It is one of the hardest things in the world to stay maximum efficient all the time, but I want to say that with everything it takes practice. You can stop what you are doing right now and ask am I being intentional about what I am doing.

The very next task that you take on, the next game that you play. Envision yourself doing it in your minds-eye to the best of your ability. Hold this vision firm as you go forward giving no possibility to the chance of defeat. Then execute.

There is a study that was done of kids learning how to shoot free throws. One group was given the ball for a short period of time so they knew and felt the mechanics. The next group was given the ball solid for the next 30 days. The first group practiced making the shots in their mind the over the next 30 days. They had someone describe it over and over. The measurements were taken. The group who had the ball the whole time had less of an overall improvement then the group who made the free throws in their mind.

There is no substitution for hard work, yet it makes sense to use the one muscle that can cause maximum efficiency more. The mind.

Try it, envision right before you attempt and enjoy the results. It feels good to live out your vision.
