Real Estate Agent Wants To Know If Mental Focus Training Help Her
“I’m a Real Estate Agent in Pensacola, Florida who got into this business because I want to make lots of money. I’ve been studying successful agents around me and it’s pretty clear what I need to do, but when I think about how much work is required, it’s just overwhelming and I don’t get anything done.”—Betty R., Pensacola, Florida
You’ve made the right decision to use strategic brain training for better mental fitness as your resource for getting the results you want for your career. The good news is you have determined that there are specific duties and tasks necessary to make your dreams come true. At least you have that part down, because many people never get to that clear, concise picture clarity in their thoughts. So, now all you need to do is resolve the mental obstacles that are getting in the way of you consistently doing the duties required for career success so that you can swim around gleefully in that lake of money you want to earn.
Let us review your situation from a mentally practical perspective. When you walk away and leave the duties you need to do undone, what’s really happening is your brain is in the process of contradicting itself by way of thoughts and impulses that directly conflict with each other. Thoughts generated in your mind (either willingly or that have been ‘fed’ to you from other sources) have promised you numerous wonders and glories upon the achievement of the objective, but when the time comes for action, it suddenly hits you with negative thoughts and feelings.
The result is that you are either making no progress or moving in the wrong direction in relation to the path you sincerely want. At the instant of your brain’s painful assault on your dreams, it offers you a distracting option that it claims will ease the pain. When you take the bait and find yourself hooked by the distraction, your brain hassles you about it, causing more pain, which it promises to ease if you’ll only take more distracting bait. This is an illogical and entirely natural effort on the part of ancient neural evolutionary biology to keep you safe by maintaining the familiarity of your life’s status quo, no matter how uncomfortable your current level. This biological self-protection is referred to as ‘HOMEOSTASIS’.
Amazingly enough, your fears are there to serve a self-sustaining purpose, to keep you from taking risks that your unconscious mind, wisely or unwisely, believes to be in some way harmful. The problem with this ancient neural faculty is that, at this stage of human evolution, remaining the same is the same as moving backwards; this, because progressive change is a key process for survival, advancement, and expansion when it comes to modern human beings.
The high level of intellectual capacity afforded you by an evolved cerebral cortex is there so you can reach out, do more and become more in this modern world. Inspiring ideas and intentions are commonly sabotaged by homeostatically induced negative thoughts and fears, causing procrastination and avoidance of challenging tasks and necessary actions. Fortunately for us the higher intellectual capacities of the human brain have a most profound influence over your day to day destiny, but only for those who learn to use and apply that influence through proper training.
The best athletes are those who are well-practiced in proper technique and execution, and the same applies to the mental performer, and the Real Estate Agent. I suggest you train your mind to make the accomplishment of the duties you’ve set for yourself an easy, natural pleasure, and rebuild your thinking processes so that you can accept the greater rewards without feeling bad about it. To accomplish this requires you become acutely aware of negative thoughts and feelings that rise and fall in your mind the very moment they occur, while at the same time mastering the ability to grow and remain psychologically immune to their effects so that they will never again cause you to hesitate when the time comes for doing what’s necessary to have what you want in your life.
The same mental fitness training tools that provide you the psychological power to move through self-sabotaging mental roadblocks will also provide you with insights for overcoming the common discomforts that accompany intensive, lengthy mental concentration and focus. When you feel the pain of ‘much to do,’ you’ll be able to either work through temporary fatigue, or clear it away from your mind and body by an easy act of willpower so that the tasks before you are more enjoyable.
