Concentration Is ...

If Forest Gump had read my blog from yesterday
he might have said:

'Concentration is, as concentration does.'

The fact is concentration is not something we think
very much about. I know I didn't anyway. It's
been easier, in fact, for me to figure out up front
what it isn't.

It isn't tensing up and trying to force your mind to
perform. It's quite the opposite. It involves your
will, but it's not sheer willpower.

Concentration is a state of mental quiet, where
there is peace of mind and singleness of thought
and purpose. Concentration simply is the ability
to direct your thinking, and we all have the ability
to concentrate -- sometimes.

Think of the times you were 'lost' in something
you really enjoyed like playing hoops, enjoying
music, even watching good game, or a
blockbuster movie. In those times you achieved
almost total concentration.

Next time we'll talk about how to concentrate on
purpose. It's not as hard as you think.

P.S. Another way to explain concentration is as
what we athletes call being 'In the zone'. It is
both physical and mental. Many athletes have
experienced it before, but most couldn't tell you
how they got there or how to get back.

Don't worry though Coach Patrick Chylinski
teaches three ways you can get in the zone on
purpose in his e-book on becoming a big-time
scorer. And that's just two pages of a 41 page
report.

What would it be worth you to know just that
though?
