When you think about the greatest personal trainers of our day the names of Jillian or Bob from "The Biggest Loser" may come to mind. But when it comes to great mental trainers - one name stands alone in a crowded sea of people (literally). That name of course is Waldo.
Jillian and Bob help clients become more fit by having a plan of action and so does Waldo. Waldo is a pretty strange looking character. Red and white hat with matching shirt. Is there any possible way that you would miss this character walking by us on the street? But when he's thrown into a crowd he seems to disappear from view - at least to the untrained eye.
Here's Waldo's secret that he doesn't want you to know (for obvious financial reasons). Don't look at the crowd. Focus on red stripes. Over time the other colors will fade and you will only see red. With more practice you will only see red stripes and before you know it you will not be asking Where's Waldo.
Here's your simple mental challenge for the day:
Part 1: Look for squares. Everywhere you look you will see squares - ceiling tiles, computer keys, post it notes and more. After a while you will be tired of seeing squares and will be ready for part two of the challenge.
Part 2: Pick your favorite color and only see that color. You will amaze yourself with the mental power you have over your focus. Good luck and come back for your next challenge soon!
