As an athlete, no matter your age, maintaining focus is essential.
Whether in high-pressure competition or routine practice, focus is required to execute complex tasks, remain composed under stress, and minimize errors.
Let's face it. Sometimes we lose focus 😬 Maybe it's the stress of the workday buzzing through our mind, a tough test you had at school or any distraction from personal relationships. Maybe maintaining a sense of focus has always been a struggle due to ADHD or another diagnosis? That's okay! No matter your reason for losing focus, there are ways you can redirect your attention to what's important. This can include...
Breathing techniques to recenter the mind 🫁
Visualization before practice or an important event to center your mind 🧠
Limiting distractions around you such as phone use or other stimulus in the room 📵
Perhaps you need just a little extra help. If you are anything like me, I do NOT tolerate caffeine very well, so finding a natural supplement to enhance my focus without caffeine has been a challenge. BUT! I did find ONE all natural ingredient that gives me the effects of caffeine while incorporating the incredible healing properties of oleuropein into my routine. Oleuropein can be found in many forms, but for focus, pure ground olive leaves are the most effective. Add a teaspoon to your smoothie, your oatmeal, or just mix with water, and feel your mind clear, and your brain's ability to focus on the task at hand.
