Did watching England get you in a state??

So. Just like millions of others across the country I've 'endured' 90 minutes of England v Slovenia and what a roller-coaster ride of emotions it was.

The range of feelings experienced - remember 'Defoe scoring'..........to the thoughts that crossed your mind when Rooney was running off that 'knock'........to the moments leading up the Upsons last 'gasp' tackle...to the emotions you recall when the final whistle blew........

If you stop to think about one of those moments in detail and run the movie from a few moments before the event to a few moments after, you may even start to associate with the feelings you felt back at the time it happened as you concentrate on the 'film'.

By doing this, your mind generates visual 'data' in the form of images that in turn trigger a kinesthetic response (feeling) like what you have probably just witnessed.

'Tackling' states in business

Thinking about you and your current level of business for a moment and maybe your 'personal performance' in terms of your 'activity' or production levels, what 'frame of mind' would be the one that produced the most output in that situation? You may even think of your role and the varying activities you engage in daily and as you do that, notice how different 'states' would benefit different 'situations.'

Tools for better 'headers'

I think the question is, with 'tools for your head' available that assist a person in achieving different levels of feeling, can you imagine the context you hate most, yet having the feeling you want in that situation. What would that mean for you in terms of different outcomes?!?

Quick question: "Are you OK with that?"

If you are, great! If not, why not?

What would happen if you did something about it?

What? Just like England did ......?!?


The men out in South Africa made changes to their team in todays game which meant they progressed through to the next round. With a Sunday afternoon game 'beckon' -ing (did you think of David? You have now!) the country waits to see if we can 'progress further' in what some people are describing as 'the greatest show on earth'.

Come on England!
