“Live the best, be the best.  You are already intelligent and good.”

I replied to a friend’s post regarding humanity (humanitarian first).

These are some additional pragmatic ideas; my thoughts, thinking, and feeling on mental health continuum and prevention, no age barrier over 18, poverty, and homelessness. With discussion we can innovate to build and grow this:

Health Social Responsibility, Social Action, Social Justice:
1. Create a talent/employment pool for people who are higher functioning that have a health diagnosis i.e. mental health, diabetes, cancer, or other to work whenever they can in their field of study, experience, or choice not when the talent pool/employer wants them to work virtually, remote, on-site, in person in defined learning/work sessions of varying skill and time duration living more next level of success/rehabilitation health, wellness, and economic mobility to gain as much independence as possible with their fluid treatment team. This doesn’t mean someone does the good value intelligent work for them that is easy, a challenge or struggle for them. It means they work thru the good value intelligent work with the right coordination, communication, connectivity, and involvement to help and support them to learn the skill(s) required (necessary) succeeding in their next level of living more health, wellness, and economic mobility. Talent pool/employers benefit with the delivery of good value intelligent work and having a role in making a person successful.

What makes easier peaceful better outcomes?  There’s no time to think.  Talk to yourself (voice mind, self talk, not out loud) the whole day.  We also talk out loud to another and others.  If you are talking to yourself in a better way today than yesterday you are better today than yesterday.  This can be talking to yourself about something you are accomplishing or something you are helping someone accomplish.

Examples:

1.  This blog post was inspired and motivated to make easier peaceful better outcomes for you to support my work.  Thank you for doing so.  If you are new to my website, there are Free Resources for you to do your research and preparation before contacting me.  Or, if you prefer to have a conversation first then contact me.
2.  Yesterday, I was at a strength and conditioning session and as I was doing an exercise intrusive thoughts occurred, however, I talked to myself saying “count it”, “1, 2, 3, …” (number of quality repetitions), “proud heart” and finished faster than I started.
3. My mom is rehabilitating from a stroke.  I am helping her read out loud in English a book, What Is Electrical Communication? to make it easier for her cognition and comprehension.  My expertise isn’t in rehabilitating stroke patients, however, I know it’s working.  It effects her neuroplasticity, electrophysiology, makes chemical reactions, activates her conscious prefrontal cortex, creates myelin sheath, and she’s learning about something new to her.  This is succeeding to the next level of success the right way for her and I. We repeat the page three times with me telling her to take deep breaths, lower her heart rate, and ask her is it easier between each set?  This is producing benefits such as more vocal clarity, tone of voice, expanding her vocabulary, we pray, hope, live more dreams, goals, mission, and destiny to make easier peaceful better outcomes for her to walk.

“The Zone” (Individual) & “The Zone Effect” (Organization/Team/Teammates) Continuum:

“The Zone” & “The Zone Effect” is described as making performance improvements, breakthroughs, records, everything is in slow motion (everything slows down), time stands still (isn’t a deterring factor), distance stands still (isn’t a deterring factor) and your life and performance feels weightless.  Neither is repeatable.  You are growing as a person, interconnected with your life, business, and sport(s); Your “The Zone Effect” Development, Breakthroughs, and Records.

My “The Zone Effect”

I innovated the heading to “The Zone Effect” because as you are succeeding it is benefiting another and others directly and/or indirectly.

I’ve had several. It was beautiful to see my soccer family friends/teammates transition onto defense marking a man instead of just running back and control the center of the pitch in the first and second third.  After that we scored four goals in ten minutes not ninety.

“We are growing as a person; live more.” – Raj Gavurla

In the USA men’s match versus Venezuela and the Women’s World Cup match versus Spain the good goal keepers made elementary mistakes.  Then last night in the USA Men’s match versus Panama the goalie made less of a mistake and since a goal wasn’t scored against the USA no one commented or they didn’t see it as less of a mistake.

To create and experience human performance and life development and breakthroughs after one session with each goal keeper I would know what are the next step(s).  It’s easy to say the goal keepers know not to do that and say it was poor (not so good showing), change players, and inexperience led to the mistakes.  However, in helping and working with athletes in my private confidential session(s) the reason for the mistakes could be more than technical ability and tactical correction.  It would be inappropriate to guess because it could take more than one session to correct.  If this is needed it has to do with discovering and removing mental, emotional, and physical blocks using my human mental performance skills and then strengthening on the pitch with one session.

However, if it is a technical and tactical issue only then looking at the pictures we see the goalies need to be equipped with performance ques.

Performance Ques: 

1. If there is one teammate to pass to within distance then the pass is allowed if no opponent is past midfield.
2. If an opponent is past mid field, and there are two teammates to pass to a pass can be made because the teammate can pass to another teammate to ward off the defender.

However, as you can see in the pictures this wasn’t so, therefore, the goalie need not make the pass.  

Something similar happened in the men’s match versus Panama last night and the teammate’s only option was to quickly kick the ball up field resulting in a turnover.  The goalie could have done better kicking it up field because he had time to read who to play the ball to.

USA men and women are making rewarding progress towards winning the World Cup.  Play soccer the right way for it to happen sooner.

USA men’s soccer is 3-0 in group D in the Gold Cup and the USA women’s soccer plays tomorrow against France in the World Cup.  I’m looking forward to USA men’s soccer playing in the 2022 World Cup.

“Innovate Families, Businesses, Communities, and Schools:  It’s about individuals and their people having a better life, better living, and better future.” – Affectionately Endless

Sometime people say, “I want to grow as a person or be a better person”, “that happens to people”, “we all have to go”, or “they don’t know what to say”, etc.

Here are nine scenarios to help you and show them you are growing as a person: 

1.  Someone tells you someone passed away.  Say, “I wish that didn’t happen.”
2.  Someone says someone is sick (has an illness), Say, “I wish that didn’t happen.”
3.  Someone’s loved one committed suicide.  Say, “I wish that didn’t happen.”
4.  A colleague has a passing in their family.  Say, “I wish that didn’t happen.”
5.  Someone is rehabilitating from a stroke or another condition, experiencing social isolation because of immobility (although caregivers are helping).  All the things and money in the world can’t replace your presence, fulfillment, and the effect you have on a rehabilitating person and more importantly the effect the person has on you.  It is an essential part of you growing as a person and their treatment from social isolation.  Are you only there in good times?  Or, are you able to cherish their presence in this world.  For both you see life is amazing and we have to find ways to grow life, a better living, and a better future.  If they ask why did this happen?, Say, “I wish that didn’t happen.”
6. You don’t have the right support system.  Say, “I wish that didn’t happen.”
7. The doctor and health care professional doesn’t know how to intrinsically inspire and motivate you.  They say you aren’t getting better because “you don’t want to”.  Say, “I wish that didn’t happen”.
8. A colleague isn’t performing or your kid isn’t performing because you think, “they don’t want to.”  That’s not being a colleague (teammate) or parent.  Say, “I wish that didn’t happen.”
9. If your calendar doesn’t allow for this essential aspect of growing as a person, I say, “I wish that didn’t happen.”

Instead, what I hear is silence.  You mean well.  You might have said a silent prayer.  However, using the sentence, “I wish that didn’t happen.” creates a robust consciously conscious being state so you are involved with breakthroughs, advancements, and their records to mobility and independence.  You’ll experience life growth and sensations beyond anything you can describe, buy, or implement into your life.  “I wish that happened more often.”

See, you like me at one time think everything is setup to thrive.  I’m here to tell you you’ve created and live in an incubator and it’s precisely your ability to expand out into people’s lives that connects you to grow your life, a better living, and better future.  You might be inspired and motivated to create a solution.  That’s innovating families, businesses, communities, and schools.  This is a meaningful, interesting, and intelligent way to grow as a person.

My “The Zone” & “The Zone Effect”

As you see when you apply my mental and physical tools and techniques and for paying clients much better highly individually customized and team customized mental and physical tools and techniques, you learn that everything I do is research based, however, it’s my expertise and skills that make it applicable to you.

It’s meaningful, interesting, and intelligent to help and work with you because although I’m getting paid seeing you make developments, breakthroughs, records, and growing as a person is nostalgic, very fulfilling, and your support of my work is what makes it possible for me to create and customize programs (keynotes, learning sessions, clinics, workshops, facilitation, coaching, and consulting).
