Many -successful- people swear by visualization. They truly believe that if they think hard enough about something they want and envision themselves with every fibre of their bodies already having it - how it feels, looks, smells - that they will get it. And the strange thing is (or is it?) - it wor...

You can only perform as good as your body and mind allow for. They are your tools - your instrument. When you regard them as such, taking good care of them makes all the more sense. “A sound mind is in a sound body" "Perfecting the personal regularly leads to success as a professional - […]...

When we are in our own head, watching the world from our own perception, things tend to get blurred. When we are doing anything, we can’t actually see ourselves moving as a whole like the world does see us. We don’t hear ourselves like the world hears us. Catch: We tend to have quite a […...
