OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE TECHNOLOGIES: 3 CRUCIAL MINDS TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS

OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE TECHNOLOGIES: 3 CRUCIAL MINDS TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS
Yes, we need the 3/5 aspects to succeed. To blend the various minds into a unified whole seems another crucial element.
Open-minded mindfulness, an approach I have been working with as a foundation for optimal performance, enables the cultivation of the Five Minds. These, I think give rise to the champion, learning and creative mind, though the models do overlap.
Open-mindedness is the capacity to question everything and embrace diversity and uncertainty. Mindfulness is conscious awareness. Mindfulness meditation practice is a critical technique for cultivating mindfulness and mindfulness provides the capacity to respond rather than react in ways appropriate to the situation at hand. I believe that that is the core capacity for optimal performance, particularly if it is informed by compassion and the ethical mind.
