Watching the PRO's, it seems they are withing 1/2 board at the break point of their intended target. Is it better to use the break point as your mark or intended target rather than the arrows?
I was really focused on my game and noticed that I was within 1/2 at my intended target the arrows, yet I was +/- 3 boards at the break point. Because of the wall of China shot I was still in the pocket and scoring good.
I tried to use a mark (7 board) at the break point but I felt awkward during my approach yet still missed that mark by several boards.
I tried drawing an imaginary line from my mark at the arrow to the mark I want to hit at the break point but that doesn't seem to work. I am still more focused on my mark at the arrows and sometimes don't know exactly where my ball was at the break point.
How can I "train" myself to focus more on the break point and not feels so awkward? Any suggestions? Pointers?

That method is the correct method. PRACTICE... is how to incorpate change. Any change feels uncomforatbale at first.

What works for me is:
While preparing to start my approach I focus on the break-point, then I imagine the line I want the ball to travel from the break-point back to my target at or near the arrows.
Then when I start my approach I focus on the break-point and on my second to last step follow the line back and focus on the target arrows during the slide/release.
When delivering the ball toward your target at the arrows keep in mind the line you want the ball to travel toward the break-point.
