Discovering Your Excellence Within: A Holistic Guide To Being Your Best (see accompanying workbook below)
AWAKEN AND ACTIVATE EXTRAORDINARY EXCELLENCE
Within every individual is a storehouse of amazing treasures waiting to be discovered. Dr. Nick Pappas first realized this during his career as a minor league hockey player when at times he felt challenged to the extreme. While stress can weaken performance and energy levels, it can also be motivational and encourage the seeking of life-changing ideas and strategies that provide the ultimate competitive edge. Too many people, including athletes, fail to tap into their inner resources; instead, they try to cope with their unique pressures by engaging in negative behaviors that sometimes involve the use of harmful substances. In contrast, learning to utilize an array of empowering, yet often dormant, abilities residing within the deep holistic self is an incredible opportunity that can begin now. With time and consistent use, these powerful practices can promote greater levels of excellence and achievement by strengthening the physical, mental, emotional, energetic, relational, and spiritual aspects of the self – all of which are essential for reaching your true and highest potential. Written in an engaging style that includes examples of challenges facing both athletes and achievers from different walks of life, Discovering Your Excellence Within is a reader-friendly guide that reveals a dynamic holistic approach for bringing out the best in who you are and all you do. With its insightful narratives, practical strategies, and energizing techniques, this thought-provoking book combines the wisdom and truths of the ages with groundbreaking scientific discoveries to help enlighten and accelerate your journey to achieving greater levels of self-mastery, wholeness, self-improvement, and excellence.
