[00:00.10]What’s Your Recovery Rate?
    [00:05.45]What is your recovery rate?
    [00:08.86]How long does it take you to recover from actions
    [00:11.85]and behaviors that upset you? Minutes? Hours?
    [00:15.75]Days? Weeks? The longer it takes you to recover,
    [00:19.03]the more influence that incident has on your actions,
    [00:22.28]and the less able you are to perform to your personal best.
    [00:25.86]In a nutshell, the longer it takes you to recover,
    [00:29.03]the weaker you are and the poorer your performance.
    [00:31.74]You are well aware that you need to exercise
    [00:34.65]to keep the body fit and, no doubt,
    [00:36.99]accept that a reasonable measure of health is the speed
    [00:39.99]in which your heart and respiratory system recovers after exercise.
    [00:44.12]Likewise the faster you let go of an issue that upsets you,
    [00:48.10]the faster you return to an equilibrium,
    [00:51.46]the healthier you will be.
    [00:53.16]The best example of this behavior is found
    [00:56.01]with professional sportspeople.
    [00:58.02]They know that the faster they can forget an incident
    [01:01.05]or missed opportunity and get on with the game,
    [01:03.62]the better their performance. In fact, most measure the time
    [01:07.49]it takes them to overcome and forget an incident in a game
    [01:10.50]and most reckon a recovery rate of 30 seconds is too long!
    [01:14.41]Imagine yourself to be an actor in a play on the stage.
    [01:18.10]Your aim is to play your part to the best of your ability.
    [01:21.83]You have been given a script and
    [01:23.99]at the end of each sentence is a full stop.
    [01:26.71]Each time you get to the end of the sentence you start a new one
    [01:30.49]and although the next sentence is related to the last
    [01:33.78]it is not affected by it.
    [01:35.70]Your job is to deliver each sentence to the best of your ability.
    [01:40.27]Don't live your life in the past! Learn to live in the present,
    [01:45.22]to overcome the past. Stop the past from influencing your daily life.
    [01:49.39]Don't allow thoughts of the past to reduce your personal best.
    [01:53.19]Stop the past from interfering with your life.
    [01:56.50]Learn to recover quickly.
    [01:59.07]Live in the present. Not in the precedent.
