Feng Shui Your Mind

For awhile there I couldn't turn around without
somebody throwing Feng Shui in my face. I got
sick of it. My teenage daughters and all their
friends were really into it, for example.

For those of you who have been living under a
rock the last couple of years Feng Shui is the
ancient art of creating an environment which
has a positive, peaceful, supportive energy.
By using space, placing objects, being aware of
colors, textures, lines of sight, etc. you can
create a more emotionally uplifting place to
live or work.

Think of it as the opposite of clutter. In order
for energy to flow powerfully, and for your
space to support your mental and emotional
well-being the clutter must be cleared.

It is good to know a lost art like this can be
revived because we all want to revive the lost
art of shooting too. For that to happen a
related skill needs to be reborn, and that is
concentration or focus.

Without that don't expect to get anything near
the results you want in any area. Success
depends on concentrated effort. As the Bible
puts it, 'a double-minded man is unstable in all
his ways.' So if you've been plagued by
inconsistency lately concentration is probably
what you've been lacking.

The key is not just eliminating clutter from your
environment, but from your mind and heart too.
In the days ahead I'll help you work on that.

P.S. Any exercises that give you better control of
your body help you also control your mind and
build concentration. That's one reason I've
always recommended the deep breathing and
controlled bodyweight exercises taught by Matt
Furey (www.mattfurey.com) and for women
Eddie Baran (www.eddiebaran.com).

Mindlessly exercising is one of the worst things
you can do for any sport. It makes you dumb
and dumber. Now though I've found a basketball
conditioning program that works on everything
you need to be a force on the basketball court.

If you want to develop superior strength, better
footwork, increased agility, insane explosiveness,
and rock-solid core power. Coach Tony Alfonso
has designed a superior, year-round conditioning
program just for basketball players. It's available
as a downloadable e-book now at:

summer league play or for next season.
