How To Improve Support to Increase Mojo

Support is a key component of mojo, as I have said in an earlier post. You have a support system in place now, but can it be improved? There are two times when support is important:
  • Past
  • Present
Past support is your upbringing. It is how you were raised. You can’t change it, but if it isn’t the best, you can over come it. A person who wants to increase his mojo must consider support, both now and in the past. People have succeeded who have been in broken homes, dangerous living situations, and abusive environments, to name a few. There are countless examples of people to whom live wasn’t kind.
Because of my background, I tend to use a lot of sports examples. There are many examples of supporters in sports. For example:
  • Coaches
  • Managers
  • Captains
  • Teammates
  • Parents
  • Others 
Any of these can help a young person along his journey in sports. In other endeavours, people with other titles may contribute to a person’s support system. They may be called:
  • Mentors
  • Directors
  • Ministers,
  •  parents 
  • Friends
  • Others
Any of these people could have added support. It is too late to change what happened in the past, but every person must consider their current support system. 

Next, consider present support, including all of the titles listed above. How can you maximize it? Remember that support is a two-way street. Support requires the supported person to be an attractive candidate. You have to contribute something to the relationship or you won’t get anything back.

Make sure that each person in your support system has your best interest at heart Also, make sure that you pick people who know you or at least know how you operate. A total stranger is unlikely to spend the time helping you. Sometimes, the right kind of relationship is described as being “on the same wavelength.”

Does each person in your support system take a three-pronged approach of exercise, rest, and nutrition? If not, get another one. A supporter who will burn you out is a bad supporter. You need adequate rest and recovery time. Also, a trainer who does not consider the possibilities of nutrition is doing you no favors. This is particularly true in sports, where eating the right foods can make all the difference. Don’t fall into a starving ritual either. Eating disorders are common in sports especially among young women and others for whom low body weight is part of the game.There are good ways to lose weight and stay fit at the same time. People who are always hungry do not have with high mojo. 

It is important to have confidence in your support if it is good. If it isn’t, then it is important to make a change and improve it. This is especially true of a coach. A coach may be the most important member of your support team. Trusting what they have taught you is a sign of mojo. Lastly, it helps your mojo to be bold and unafraid to ask for help or criticism. These are signs of confidence and mojo.

  Mojo Heroes And Antiheroes There are both heroes and antiheroes among people with high mojo. There is no law that says a person with high mojo has to be a nice person. Sometimes they are, sometimes they aren’t. Let’s define anti-hero. Webster says an anti-hero is “a protagonist or notable figure who is conspicuously lacking in heroic qualities”. Examples of heroic qualities are strength, ability, achievement, courage, and nobility. The number of anti-heroes compared to heroes is greater in fiction than in real life. It is just more fun to write about or play the more complex characters typified by anti-heroes. It exploits the talents of the actors better. It also seems as if there are more anti-heroes today than in prior years. But all of the people I am about to mention had high mojo, whether hero or anti-hero. In an earlier post , I described the top 10 American people with high mojo. They were George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Ronald Reagan, Benjamin F

Top 10 Mojo Effects

Top 10 Mojo Effects I am going to concentrate on the effects of a high mojo individual or set of individuals on a group of people, rather than on individuals themselves who have mojo. If you acquire more mojo for your group, you may experience one or more of these effects. There are three types of effects that you will see. There are the direct effects of increasing mojo on the group. There are the indirect effects of the example set by adding the mojo. Lastly, there are the synergistic effects each group member experiences from having a teammate with mojo. When you add mojo to your group, you also add each of the component of mojo : motivation , expertise , experience , support , faith , willingness to act , and luck . Obviously there is a net increase in each of these in the group. But with them, you get an example of proper attitude, behavior, and preparation (see below for the effects these will have). Also, each member of your group will come to know that they have a rol

10 Best Experience Blogs

What Is Experience? Are you too old or just experienced? Do you need more experience? I have asserted that experience is a big part of mojo , but when is enough, enough?  When are you just too old ?  The best way to answer these questions is to consider age and experience as separate things.  It is possible for a very young person to have a lot of experience as well as for an old person to have almost none.  In other words, your age doesn't tell you how much experience you have. You can never have too much experience, but it is better to get it as early as possible.  If your biological age is advanced, but you feel good and have taken care of yourself, then more experience can help you.  Also, do not make the mistake of believing that a young person cannot have much experience.  That person might have started at an even younger age and have more experience than you. Why does experience help you? You have seen it before.  You have an example or an existence proof.  A
