INSIGHT

Performance Beyond Raw Talent

  • Bode credits integrating non-physical modalities with the physical as the source of his elite performance.
  • He used external energy sources to amplify limitations in raw biology and technique.
ADVICE

Who Controls Your Mind?

  • When a thought or song gets stuck, identify who's putting it there and take ownership to remove it.
  • Swap the loop by giving your brain a specific replacement (e.g., a mantra) and turn the volume down.
ADVICE

Replace The Loop

  • When repetition hijacks attention, give the brain an alternate task or mantra to cast a new pattern.
  • Stay with the replacement consistently until it becomes the brain's new loop.
