  Fair questions,.

  Unfortunately, imo the window shut last year, it will be more of the same.

  I noticed Mahoney looked completely absent in a interview the other day on the news, just didnt look himself and had zero conviction behind his words, you could tell he didnt even believe himself.

  His heart and minds already elsewhere

    Well i also believe Mahoney is probably also concerned of how his shoulder will hold up, though he has his contract now so anything that happens doesn't matter as he has his million dollar contract.

    Do not know about Mahoney's interview, is that the one on 9 news the other day at the photoshoot? cause Mahoney when he talks can be a bit one dimensional, though at times he has been know to smile and laugh and joke around so either more focused or distracted who knows until he plays.

      Yes i think it was that one mate, he just didnt seem himself, he seemed nervous and very absent behind the eyes, his energy was very different to how ive obseved before.

    Snake I think Mahoney's focus may be something that may come up during the year particularly when mental strength becomes an issue. I came across this from a Psych journal which does make sense..Who knows he may surprise us running off other teammates' energy and put in a solid year.?

    Is your mind always somewhere else? If it is, you are not putting forth your best. You are not acting efficiently. You are telling your subconscious mind, people, and the Universe, that what you are doing at the present moment is not important and does not deserve your and their attention.

    If you are not focusing on what you are doing, if you are not focusing on your goal, and if you are not focusing on the topic you are thinking about or the problem you are trying to solve, you are actually wasting time and energy.

    How can your mind come up with ideas or solutions, if you allow it to wander wherever it wants?

    Why other people help you with your plans if you go in different directions, without focus?

    How can the Universe help you in achieving your goals, if you don’t care enough for them?

     

    Lack of Focus Signals a Lack of Enough Interest.

    • When your mind is somewhere else, you make errors, your judgment is poor, and you miss opportunities.
    • Doing one thing, while thinking about something else, means that you are not present here, in the present moment. Though your body is here, but your mind is somewhere else.
    • You live a better life when your body, mind, actions and thoughts synchronize, work in unison, and are focused on the same object or activity.
    • Only focused attention can lead you to success in your career, work, relationships, studies, tasks and chores.
    • If your mind is always somewhere else, you become a bad listener, you don’t really see what is happening around you, you miss opportunities, and you become inefficient.

    Being here, focusing your mind on what you are doing, doesn’t require superhuman powers. All you need is:

    • The desire to learn to focus your mind.
    • Being aware when your mind wanders away.
    • Strengthening your motivation.
    • Being aware of the benefits of being here, in the present moment.
    • Strengthening your willpower and self-discipline.
    • Practicing a few concentration exercises.

    Do you now realize the importance of being here and now, focusing on your thoughts and on your actions?

    Do you realize that if your mind is somewhere else you are not paying attention?

    Without focus, you drift and attain nothing.

    Would you make the effort to learn to focus on what you are doing, so that you act more efficiently, save time, do fewer mistakes, and make things

      Great post Tad, some very interesting stuff.

      Its not that easy to fully live in the current moment is it? No doubt im happier and more content the closer i get to living in the now.

      But when it comes to work, Reed is paid a lot of money to be in the now for us.

      I'll be suprised if he doesnt find an injury to see him out for half the season.
