Sports Psychology Tips:


Organize Your Own Positive Marketing Campaign




When we see thing over and over, we start to embrace it as fact. When we hear something long enough, we start to believe it.  It starts to affect the way we see things and perform on a daily basis. You need to take charge of these negative messages around you or you will start to dwelling on them.  In society today we are overwhelmed with negatives on TV, the news and by people.  Advertising company spend billion of dollars on TV commercials. You can reap the same benefits as these companies by creating your own marketing campaign. You can choose to see challenges  as blessings. You  can declare good breaks are coming your way. You can see problems as opportunities.

Imagine the commitment, energy and enthusiasm you would have in your life;  if you decided to dwell on the positives.  Start today and create your own ad campaign. Organize your pictures and thoughts in a  positive way.  When you become aware of negative images or thoughts, choose to make them
a positive.  Make it a habit  to declare victory before you play the game.

    Tony Robbins Success Formula











    1. Determine your outcome – You must make a decision. You must decide on what you want. If you don’t get clear on where you’re going, the chances of your getting there are rather slim.
      “Begin with the end in mind.”
      -Stephen Covey
    2. Take action – You must make a second decision and decide to make a change. Many of us will not do this due to fear. Don’t fall into that trap. Decide to act anyway.
    3. Notice what is working – Know what results you’re getting. Continue to monitor your results and adjust your actions if needed in order to get the results you want.
    4. Choose a role model – Accelerate your progress towards success by modeling those who are already successful. It’s much easier to copy what someone else has already done. What’s even better, is you can then improve upon what someone has done and achieve better results, often in a shorter period of time.
