Summary

Basic Approach Winning is a habit we need to cultivate by manoeuvring the thoughts responsible for our habits. Emphasizing particularly on sports, where competition is unavoidable, Winning Habits offers techniques and solutions from Indian and Western psychology, and yogic practices to deal with negative thoughts which create hindrances in the path to victory.Disciplining the thought processes through concentration-exercises like Bindu Trataka and Jyoti Trataka; strengthening the correct responses from memory, and a positive anticipation of the future through visualization; and yogic exercises like Pranayama for developing concentration and attention focus, Shavasana and Nyasa for relaxation and creation of energy reserves are some of the recommended remedies.
