10 Self-Mastery Principles for Success and Peak Performance

Once you understand the items in your psychology that can block personal growth, you can learn how to get past them.

There are some tips for self-mastery to lead to self-actualization and a better mental state.

1. Accept Resistance

5. Moderation is Key

We often allow excitement to take over our path. We see a change right outside our doors. 

In this time of excitement we put a homeostatic response at a high alert.

Self-mastery is not a fast thing, it will take time. In Qigong, you will learn that you need practice with over 70 percent of your mental access. If you put the strain on yourself you are adding tension to your body including the nervous system.
