From elite athletes to Sunday joggers, the ability to
maintain energy levels and drive to succeed can wax and wane on a regular
basis. Training schedules reflect goals and plans. A marathon schedule, for
example, often contains several types of runs. During the week interval
training takes precedence when time is limited. At the weekend, long runs are
a key element of marathon training and can take from two to three hours at a
time. In order to remain motivated, the mind and body must be aligned in order
to make it out the door.
An athlete can perfect their diet. You can utilize calories
in and calories out. Protein bars, energy drinks, these are all ways one can
improve and boost energy levels. However, the mental element of finding the
way to achieving maximum energy and performance is often the toughest aspect.
Getting a good night sleep, resting, and hypnosis are three
tools that can maximize mental performance before a marathon, big match, or
any type of event which demands your maximum physical and mental performance.
Hypnosis and the power of suggestion can optimise performance.
During a typical hypnosis session the athlete might receive
suggestions that vary from increasing concentration amidst distraction to
focusing on allowing muscles and ligaments to remain healthy and injury free.
NLP, or Neuro-linguistic programming, has been shown to help motivation levels
and thus keep energy levels high. Hypnosis and NLP reach the subconscious;
they work against all of the negative energy that might be limiting.
Hypnosis and NLP has worked wonders with both individuals
and teams. In team atmospheres, hypnosis can help to make teamwork even more
effective as team members become more self-aware and thus more aware of
others.
Athletes who have experienced hypnosis describe their
post-hypnosis training sessions and competitions as more focused, more
productive, and more invigorated. These feelings aren’t just experienced
directly after the hypnosis session, but long into the future, with some
maintenance work on breathing and self-hypnosis.
Some of the top athletes in the world use NLP and hypnosis
to achieve maximum performance. Golfer Tiger Woods uses the technique to
remain focused in competition. Tennis champion Jimmy Conners reportedly used
hypnosis before some of his biggest matches.
