Awareness – Your Microscope to Cognitive Interference!

Ida 2008 146.jpg

Cognitive interference refers to unwanted and often disturbing thoughts that intrude
an individual’s cognitive world. It plays an important role in stress and poor performance. Commonly stated as a state – it's interference for you to focus, it means your pictures don’t match.

What you receive depends on what you pay attention to. Where and whatever you turn your attention to, you begin to attract more of the same. Right? Maybe. Doesn’t matter. Good, bad –wrong or right, you get what you focus on. You might have heard this before, you might even know it and live it.

Do you know this: What you see is not always connected to your belief systems. What you say, however is. Awareness of your body, your thoughts and emotions allow you to discover the effects other people have on you.

To operate more efficiently in your everyday world and to create immediate changes in your life, game or family, it is important to check in how you use language to describe what you see. It is important to develop wisdom, rise above negativity and get comfortable being uncomfortable to be champion.

I am not talking about “self-talk” – I am talking about incantations and using every sense you have to create acute outcomes in your life and on the golf course realistic to the focus and time spent.

Because most people tense up when they encounter negative energy, they attract more negative energy. Their muscles tense up and negative emotions block an accurate picture.
In every home, every pairing in golf, on every highway of life – are the energies and thoughts of the occupants and participants.
Understanding this process, means understanding cognitive interference – means understanding and directing the unseen energy around you. How? Understand the process!

Cognitive Interference

Great blog post. Appreciate how you combine the principles of Law of Attraction with Cognitive Restructuring. I have never heard the term cognitive interference. My practice, however, focuses on reframing and turning a negative into a positive. Helping others to understand that you might not be able to change what happens to you, but you can control how you choose to respond is empowering.

Cognitive interference means

Cognitive interference means the useless and harmful thoughts that peep into our minds. It is a general nature of human beings that mind attracts negative thoughts more easily. All your energy gets wasted upon these negative thoughts. To create better results you must realize the language you use to describe the things going around you. Wisdom and the control on your soul to evade negative thoughts can help you rise above the ordinary. It all means to give direction to the invisible energy around you.
