This Determines Your Future Chess Results

A big part of the ‘mental game’ is learning how to manage our emotions, so that we control our actions rather than being a ‘slave’ to our emotions. 

The influence of our emotions is well summarised by the ‘Law Of Attraction’: Our thoughts lead to our feelings, which lead to our actions and results. 

We can represent this through a simple chart: Thoughts -> Feelings -> Actions -> Results

However, I went a step further, explaining this process through this diagram:

I've used this diagram as a model for points to elaborate on in future posts. In your case, you can use the description for each 'step' leading toward our results, to determine where the bottleneck may be between your current situation, and achieving your goals. 

Let me know in the comments below: Did any of the ideas in the diagram make a strong impression on you? 

What aspect are you going to hone first?
