Whatever you do, don't watch this!

Have you ever noticed that when someone says “don’t do this”… it’s the first thing you want to do?

That’s your Reticular Activating System (RAS) at work. Your brain doesn’t process the word “don’t” the way you think—it focuses on the action instead.

Say “don’t look up” and your brain instantly thinks about looking up. Tell yourself “don’t hit it in the water” and suddenly that water hazard is all you see. A simple mindset shift you can use today to rewire your focus If you want to sharpen your mental game and direct your focus like an elite performer, hit play—just don’t say I didn’t warn you.
