<p>With Vin Harris and Deana Rushworth</p> <p>I just had to put this podcast together after completing the Mind Factor Mindfulness Practitioner Certification that Vin Harris and myself led for a group of golfers both amateurs and professional players and coaches.</p> <p>We have all heard of the benefits of Mindfulness.</p> <p>The science behind it is REALLY strong.</p> <p>The effects are apparent in ALL areas of life.</p> <p>It really does help when your life is a struggle with perhaps anxiety or depression.</p> <p>But perhaps most notably Mindfulness has not been explored enough in terms of helping us get BETTER at what we do.</p> <p>Be that sport, business or life in general.</p> <p>We have talked so much about ATTENTION on the Brain Booster yet what do we actually DO to train our attention?</p> <p> </p> <p>This is where Mindfulness is PROFOUND</p> <p>The ability to have a daily PRACTICE</p> <p>A practice that has LONG term benefits</p> <p>We ran the training over 4 consecutive weeks with a 2 hour theory session on a Thursday and then a practice session on a Monday.</p> <p>The effects of the group dynamic was simply stunning.</p> <p>The accountability of being in a group made all of the difference to each and every participant.</p> <p>As Vin Harris often says: ‘there is a BIG difference between a conceptual understanding of Mindfulness and an actual PERSONAL experience.</p> <p>One of the participants on the course Deana Rushworth shares with us HER personal experience.</p> <p>Deana is a very successful PGA coach from Oxford</p> <p>She makes the point in the podcast that she had read and heard that virtually EVERY successful person she has come across has a Mindfulness practice yet she always felt that she ‘didn’t have time’ for Mindfulness.</p> <p>We get to talk about the profound potential benefits of exploring a daily practice.</p> <p>Developing the ability to not so much change your thoughts but have a different RELATIONSHIP to your thoughts.</p> <p>You will gain so much from the insights in this podcast to
