Seven areas to improve for peak performance
- The breath, shifting breathing from chest to stomach and breathing in for a count of four and out for eight
- Posture, to allow for better flow of breath
- Limiting distractions
- Real breaks to reset and rejuvenate, avoiding social media or news feeds
- Presence, limiting focus to a single activity and resisting the urge to multitask
- Incorporating a mantra such as “I’m enough” or “I’m strong,” in daily life to replace negative self-talk
- Reconnecting with self, whether by formal meditation or simply being quiet
Panwar also talks about the importance of teaching children the principles of focus, providing tips for parents.
