Mental Focus:  A Key to Success in Your Nutrition and Exercise Routine.
 
Focusing Strategies
1. Return to the basics and follow a pre-practiced plan.
2. Focus only on your immediate goal.
3. Reassure yourself that you are trained, and that you are ready.
4. Remind yourself of past performances.
5. Remember that your goals are realistic; all you want to do is what you know you can.
6. Focus on doing what is right for you rather than worrying about what is wrong.
7. Imagine perfect execution of your skill.
8. Stay in the moment.
9. Intensify your focus on form.
10. Remind yourself that it is just another performance.
11. If you hate it, leave it.

If you experience problems focusing, then you have to learn to just let it happen. Focus is not something that can be forced.

The difference between your best and worst performances usually comes down to focus. In our worst performances, we most likely let negative, anxiety-producing or distracting thoughts, like worrying about other competitors, rule our emotions.

Have a Healthy Day,
