Now we're going to talk a little bit about performance in regard to the mental authority system. So, performance is at least 90%. Mental. So to control your performance in a competition, you need a system, you need to have a mental authority system built in to your practice and your competition mindset and you're practicing to be successful. A runner doesn't continuously Run, run, run, run, run. During training, there's a lot 99% of that work is mental.
Develop development, so that when they get into the competition stage, they're not nervous that they've run it through their mind 1000 times that they've that they've won this race, so that when they get up to the starting block, they're ready to run and they already have it in their mind that they can and they will win. So when we're talking about mental authority, we're we're talking about the status Have the mental processes of the mind. And there's different types of mental processes. There's ones in business, and there's also ones in person's personal life. You know, we can act like a business or a business can act like a person and have a certain mindset of how you want the business to go. And that strengthens the social and the working methods within the business to enable it to grow in that way.
That's not really what we're talking about. Here. We're talking about the mental authority system in your mind. So when you compete really well you are in balance and in harmony with your efforts. This can only occur when all your mind components including your conscious mind, your subconscious mind, and your self image are working in harmony. So this is what we're talking about when we talk about the mental authority system.
So we're going to focus on those three parts. The conscious mind. This is where you have all your mental pictures. It's the images that you hold in your mind when you're looking at something or you're thinking about something. It's the part of the mind that is active, and can only focus on one thing at a time. Now everybody talks about multitasking.
Multitasking is not true multitasking. In your conscious mind, you can only have one slot or one image in your mind at one time. That means that if you're multitasking, so called, you're jumping from one image to another image back to the other image and you're moving back and forth so quickly that makes you feel like you're doing two things at once. But in reality, your conscious mind can only have one mental picture at a time in your mind in the conscious mind. Your subconscious mind however, that's the source of all your skills and your power. You develop skills through repetition of conscious thoughts.
So using your conscious mind repeatedly, over and over again until the actions and the mental pictures become automatically and then they become performed by the subconscious mind. You know, everybody uses the examples of your body, your subconscious mind controls all the activities that are going on in your body. It's helping you breathe, it's helping you look, it's helping you digest food, it's helping you, you know, helping, or it's controlling your heartbeat. It's doing all these things all at once. If your conscious mind had to do that, you you could breathe at one point, and then beat your heart at another point, and that really wouldn't be that effective. That's why the subconscious mind is so powerful, but it needs to be controlled by the conscious mind.
If you want to make change, and that's what we're going to talk about. So when we talk about your self image, it makes you act like you. It is a sum of all your habits and all your attitudes and the attitudes that people put in your mind. Your performance and your self image will always always be equal. You cannot become more than your self image will allow you to become. And that is something that we really need to think about.
As you're developing, you know, a change in the mental attitudes and what you
