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.

ONE SIMPLE APPROACH BOOSTS WILLPOWER, FOCUS, AND CONCENTRATION!

     If you're looking for something you can do to give yourself a mental edge in accomplishing your personal, career, or financial goals, then you want to pay close attention to this advice on how to use a specific mental fitness approach to help you along.  

     Of all the brain training techniques that can be employed to boost the skill and effectiveness of your mental talents, only one mental exercise has the comprehensive influence on enough of your brain functions that it can enhance your mental concentration, your mental focus, and your power of will, simultaneously -   dynamic breathing concentration. 

      Special breathing methods have been used in spiritual practices for thousands of years to bring the mind under control and practitioners into better awareness of their environment, themselves, their thoughts, and their emotions, resulting in greater mental clarity and focus in preparation for even more enlightening personal development. 

      Today, Science is recognizing and acknowledging through expanding research the benefits of meditative breathing techniques in contributing to stress reduction, emotional well-being, and increased mental clarity.  Dynamic breathing concentration activates the higher self-management function of your brain in order to exert intentional control over parts of your physical activity that are normally automated by your unconscious mind. 

      Using your mind to willfully regulate the physical action of breathing processes results in your brain directing a significant percentage of its resources onto the task, which means your attention narrows onto the job at hand, your thoughts concern themselves with the necessary effort, and your resolve is called upon to maintain consistently successful action.  Therefore, as you continue using dynamic breathing mental fitness exercises, your brain enjoys a novel new demand upon its functions that mean more mental strength, endurance, and flexibility, all of which equate to better performance in all your pursuits.  The physical changes that happen as your brain begins to solidify, strengthen, and forge new connections among its brain cells is known as Neuro-sculpting.  So, let's introduce you to one dynamic mental fitness brain exercise that will get you started on the road to more brainpower. 

      Basic dynamic breathing concentration is a simple brain exercise for which you should set aside some personal time in which nobody will disturb you, and in a place where you can be alone.  You should also have a piece of paper along with a pen or pencil to use for making notes of what you experience during your training sessions.

       Slowly, comfortably inhale fully, then exhale fully, and repeat.  Begin with a count of just five breaths.  When you take the breath in, don't focus on your chest pulling the air; instead, with a relaxed torso, let the air fill from the bottom of your lungs near the lower sternum and fill upwards.   On exhale, release the air slowly so that it seems it's exiting from the top of your lungs on down to the bottom.  As an example, conceptualize the way a balloon fills from the bottom and then the top expands; when you let the air go from the balloon, the top air goes first and then the bottom.  See if you can try that a few times, but don't get too wrapped up about it.  Just make sure you breathe comfortably. 

     Thoughts will arise - you'll start analyzing - but NONE of that is of use to you as you direct your attention to remain targeted onto the breath itself.  Try five, although you may not be able to complete three full breaths before you get caught up in some thought or self-talk.  When you can do five fully attended breaths without thought or other distractions stealing your Attention away from the rich, full experience of breathing, then extend the number.  Do the exercise 20 to 30 minutes a day, twice a day for accelerated progress.  Make yourself a three week goal of 20 to 30 full breaths in a row without giving in to wandering thoughts or external distractions.

 Dynamic Mental Focus Training:

The Acquired Skill To Design Your Own Life!

          Not only do many people have a difficult time deciding with absolute clarity what they want to be, do, and have in their life, most do not have the mental discipline required in order to pursue their life goals and objectives in a straight line. Unfortunately, too many of us wander back and forth in widely-veering paths that can cost unnecessary expense and time (weeks, months, even YEARS). Too often, this tendency to veer off-course once a goal has finally been decided is so acute that millions literally give up on their deepest desires and settle for whatever comes their way, going to the grave with their song still unsung.

          With just the right amount of strategic Mental Fitness Training, any normal human being can develop a power of Mental Focus so strong that making a success at doing what they want, living the way they really want to live, and having the people in their life they really enjoy being around takes on a mathematical certainty.

          Mental Focus is your skillful ability to KNOW WHAT YOU WANT with absolute clarity, a knowledge so clear and uncorrupted by competing desires and distractions that it thoroughly brings into congruent alignment your THOUGHTS, EMOTIONS, IMPULSES & URGES, PERCEPTIONS, & ACTIONS. That’s right: If you forge it clearly enough in mind, it will TRANSFORM YOU into the person you need to be in order to make it come about.

          Mental Focus is what you use to keep a singularly fixed mindset clearly locked onto the vision, objective, or goal you have set for yourself OVER A LENGTHY PERIOD OF TIME, whether that goal be mental, physical, social, spiritual, material, business, or career-oriented. As a cognitive function it TIES TOGETHER AND UNIFIES EVERYTHING IN YOUR PERCEPTION - IMAGINATION, HABITUAL THOUGHTS, EMOTIONS, AND ACTIONS so that everything you think, feel, and do takes you in a self-straightening line toward the finish.

          This unwavering, UNIFIED MINDSET (with all the aspects of your 'inner world' being efficiently aligned and marching to the same tune) moves you forward with increasing momentum along the chain of steps necessary to complete that which you have determined for yourself. Strongly-developed Mental Focus allows you to easily set a clear destination for your immediate, intermediate, and long-term future, giving you the cognitive habits and mental discipline you need to map your entire course including the individual steps necessary to get there. The mental discipline that comes as a result of training your Mental Focus skills makes goal achievement such a natural part of your personality that your objectives - the resources, knowledge, and people you need to help you - seem to move toward you, magnetically.

Your Skill At Mental Concentration Greatly Affects Your Mental Focus Ability

           If your Mental Concentration skills are not sufficiently strong enough to meet the constant, time-critical demands of the life level you're looking to achieve in the immediate and long-term future, your level of Mental Focus will not be strong enough to ensure a consistent upward and forward momentum (nor quality of productivity and achievement) necessary to solidify your chances of success.

          The entire point of Concentration Training is to prepare you to boost your MENTAL FOCUS.   Mental Focus is NOT the same as Mental Concentration. Visualize a piece of paper on which, at one end, you draw a target symbol. On the opposite end, write in small letters "You Are Here. In between, make 8 dots in a line from "You Are Here" to the "Target." Mental Focus is the total, absolutely clear mental knowledge of Target, Dots, & Starting Point.

          Mental Focus is your skillful ability to KNOW WHAT YOU WANT with absolute clarity, knowledge so clear and uncorrupted by competing desires and distractions that it thoroughly brings into congruent alignment your THOUGHTS, EMOTIONS, IMPULSES & URGES, PERCEPTIONS, & ACTIONS. That's right: If you forge it clearly enough in mind, it will TRANSFORM YOU into the person you need to be in order to make it come about. MENTAL CONCENTRATION on the other hand is totally 'HERE AND NOW'.

          MENTAL CONCENTRATION is your skillful, CONSCIOUS, PURPOSEFUL ability to direct and control your ATTENTION (it's DIRECTION (target), SPAN, DEPTH, and DURATION) AT WILL!!!  I repeat:  AT WILL!   Mental Concentration happens RIGHT NOW, RIGHT HERE. If you moved in a line from "You Are Here" to "Target," Mental Concentration is total immersion and energy applied to each DOT.

          With Mental Concentration, you MOVE FORWARD STEP BY STEP, but your only concern is simply the CURRENT, NECESSARY STEP in direct defiance of all internal and external sources of distraction in the present moment. With Mental Focus, you SET YOUR COURSE and STAY ON IT for lengthy periods of days, weeks, months, or years. Mental Concentration is MOTION NOW, while Mental Focus is TARGETING, constant and in total defiance of all internal and external distraction over the long term.

          So, in closing, a person (YOU, for instance) best implements his or her training agenda by learning how to CONCENTRATE EFFECTIVELY and for crazy LONG DURATION onto ANY TARGET against ANY FORM OF DISTRACTION (Thought-based, Impulses, Urges, or External Sights & Sounds - especially OTHER PEOPLE and their 'demands'). Whatever your training technique, you WANT that kind of skill, because you can then apply it to FORGING & HOLDING an IDEA, PURPOSE, or VISION in such a way that you EASILY bring it about.
