Awareness – Your Microscope to Cognitive Interference!

imagesCA47L1IP.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!

What Clients are Saying

  • I came to Ida with many years experience in my industry, but having been removed from it for a few years I need coaching. Within the first few months of returning to the business, Ida's coaching and support established me as a Top Producer for her company.

    I have since gone into teaching and use Ida's coaching strategies on a daily basis. They not only help me to get the outcome I want with my students. I have had several opportunities to share her ideas with my students so that they can succeed in the class room and in life.

    Ida's dedication to her student's success always goes above and beyond.
