Do Mastery: Daily Performance and Life

“Do Mastery: Daily Performance and Life.”  – Raj Gavurla

Consistently Perform: Experiencing Intelligent Breakthroughs In Your Performance & Life

Do Mastery (Daily Performance and Life)  =  Learn to know why & how to do it —> Talk about it before and after doing it —> Feel while doing it —> Close eyes while doing it —> Add to it —> You have mastery of it

The best way to experience breakthroughs is by doing what you want a breakthrough in daily.  It’s the cumulative effect of daily training (practice) for shorter periods of time than doing it for hours at a time.  This process has a much greater effect than cramming hours of training and not feeling fulfillment, fun, and enjoyment and getting down on yourself for not experiencing a breakthrough.  To experience a breakthrough faster, do what you are doing with “more feel”, “close your eyes” while doing it, and talk out loud about what you are doing before and after doing it.  After you know how to do it, experience breakthroughs by using the techniques and tips of:

1. Daily training (practice) for shorter periods of time
2. Doing it with “more feel” since you already know how to do it
3. “Close your eyes” while doing it
4. Talk out loud about what you are doing before and after doing it

After you experience a breakthrough, add to it for the next level of success or if you’ve mastered it pick something else to experience a breakthrough in.  Anything you do having a mentality of working on breakthroughs will make your performance and life better.

Apply this strategy to all aspects of your life: family, dreams, vision, mission, goals, aspirations, job, athletics, income, learning, spiritual, athletics, friends, and social

“The Zone” Effect

By many “the zone” effect is described as everything is in slow motion, time stands still (isn’t a deterring factor), and your performance feels effortless.

I experienced a breakthrough in my basketball ball handling.  What made a huge difference is I already know how to do it and was using too much of my mental capacity of knowing.  When I used my mental capacity to “feel” since I already know it I experienced a breakthrough.  Adding to my mental capacity to feel I closed my eyes to feel more.  I experienced another breakthrough.  Then, I added other moves to my ball handling.

When I know I’ve mastered it, I won’t have to work on it anymore.

What Do You Do With Your Time?

“Always apply your real-time wisdom (application of real-time learning) and knowledge.” – Raj Gavurla 

Consistently Perform: Experiencing Intelligent Breakthroughs In Your Performance & Life

For those using my Your Raise The Bar Primer: Mental Performance Tools workbook, are you making sure you are rating your day (auspicious, robust, excellent, very good, good, not so good).

My buddy Jordan (2nd grader) I’m mentoring drew this drawing of me. It shows me wearing Jordans (shoes). As in the Nike Jordan brand.

This upgraded my day from “very good” to “robust” as my day rating

Mother’s Day in my workbook is rated “auspicious”.

“The Zone” Effect

By many “the zone” effect is described as everything is in slow motion, time stands still (isn’t a deterring factor), and your performance feels effortless.

Here are three phrases I use to get into “the zone” experiencing “the zone” effect:

1. Business:  “Work in the moment”
2. Sports: “Play in the moment”
3. Life: “Live in the moment”

Get It Done

Consistently Perform: Experiencing Intelligent Breakthroughs In Your Performance & Life

For those using my Your Raise The Bar Primer: Mental Performance Tools workbook, are you making sure you are writing your clear goal before actually taking action.   It will show you how much easier it is to experience intelligent breakthroughs in your performance and life by doing so.

“The Zone” Effect

By many “the zone” effect is described as everything is in slow motion, time stands still (isn’t a deterring factor), and your performance feels effortless.

It was Saturday morning and I drove to attend a community breakfast at Nicholtown Missionary Baptist Church.  It’s always nice and amazing meeting people and making friends in their place of worship.  There was an unexpected success.  The pastor wanted me to say the prayer before eating.  My day became auspicious (type of day to write in my workbook).  As I mentally prepared, I told myself “talk from the heart” .   We prayed and it was the first time I’ve lead a prayer in public.  I don’t have the words to describe the amazing feeling running through me.  An amazing “the zone” experience I will recall often.Your Most Recent “The Zone” Effect

Here’s an exercise for you?  Describe what causes performance anxiety and stress.  Then, change each factor so you experience “the zone” the next time you are scheduled to perform.  Performance anxiety and stress are usually caused by a time crunch (doing too much in too little time), environmental, relationship issue, or over thinking.

can change the course of your life.” – Christopher Germer
