Goal Planning and Achievement Through Relaxation.The Importance of Focus and Relaxation in Goal Achievement. 
We all long for that feeling when we are “In the zone”, when we can do no wrong and when we reach our goals and achieve our dreams effortlessly. Most of us long for that state in order to achieve our goals and yet for too many it seems unobtainable. There are many tools available for setting goals, which is all well and good... however achieving them is a different story. It is worth taking into consideration that the right state of mind is absolutely crucial in order to attain our goals with ease. This article is about one of the simplest little steps which can start to make a difference right for anyone who tries it, and I strongly urge you to read the advice given and take notice because only a fool would ignore it... Relaxation is one of the most overlooked tools we have in order to learn and create “body memory” or performing something perfectly, perhaps because there is a popular misconception that in order to concentrate on something we must work hard... and nothing could be (or should be) further from the truth. Maybe you have heard of the saying “Mental effort defeats itself...” This can be explained simply and quickly by thinking about the conscious and subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is capable of coping with an amazing array of task at the same time, at lightening speed and without any conscious effort at all. The conscious mind can only really concentrate on a single activity at a time... Therefore, when we try hard to concentrate we engage the conscious mind and tend to struggle, which in turn creates tension and makes it harder to concentrate and so we try harder to concentrate and so on... This also has a negative effect by associating negative feelings with your activity. Relaxation allows us to utilise the subconscious mind to a greater degree and therefore benefit in many ways... When we relax we associate good feelings to learning... When we relax we allow the tiny little electrical signals of the muscles and nerves to “do their thing” to help our body memory... When we relax we allow access to the subconscious mind in order to teach it exactly how to re-create a successful outcome to achieve our goals and make sure that we exceed our expectations... The act of relaxation also opens up fresh understandings as new neural networks are created while the subconscious looks at fresh perspectives and new ways of exploring possibilities... Everyone wants to effectively set goals and (hopefully) achieve them but not everyone believes that they can easily relax, probably due to modern stressful lifestyles, however this is simply not true. Once you learn to relax correctly, not only will you have a wonderful tool for achieving success through personal goal planning, you will also have a tool which is beneficial for your health and well being. Among the many useful ways of using relaxation
to achieve goals and perfect your practice are hypnosis,
anchoring and progressive relaxation. The Practice

all of these to great effect and is included as part of
