'BRAINS THAT RUN THE WORLD' Hacks for achieving Optimal Performance and Success in the era o
Success in everything we do starts with our brain.
As Dr Daniel Amen says,
‘Brains run the world. They run our governments and corporations , they run our schools and our families ‘ and of course, they run us.
And in a knowledge economy we are all paid to use ours or we fail.
The brain is the most amazing organism in the universe.
It weighs just 3 lbs, is about 2% of our body’s weight, yet uses up between 20-30% of the calories we consume and 20% of our body’s blood flow.
It is responsible for everything, from learning to strategising, from loving and creating, to thinking and behaving.
It is behind everything we are and everything we do .
It is behind our intelligence, our character, our personality and every decision we ever make.
Understanding our brain and how it works will enable us to:-
. Boost our focus
. Increase our energy
. Optimise our thought processes,
. Optimise our creativity, and ability to strategise and innovate,
And
Develop the most life enhancing relationships with those around us;
So that we can consistently achieve the optimal states necessary to generate Peak Performance and succeed at the highest level.
It is our brain that decides what to focus on, what goals to set, what businesses to engage in, what we think we are capable of and what we are not, and a myriad of other decisions we make every second - yet most people never think about their brain or its well being , concentrating instead on their physical fitness and general well-being, thinking that that alone will do the trick - not understanding that our competitive advantage ultimately comes from the physical functioning of our brain and a deep understanding of how to optimise its performance to achieve the goals we set.
Here are just some of the hacks we share with our clients in Our Power Programmes to enable them to achieve the states of Peak Performance that ultimately lead to their even greater success:-
1.
ARM YOURSELF
Based on pure Neuroscience and Neuro-Biology and validated by brain-imaging technology to:-
Identify:-
. Your greatest strengths and talents
. What drives and motivates you at the deepest of levels
. The things that disempower you
. The things that cause you stress and how to counter it
. Your tolerance for conflict
. Your ability to empathise and relate to others
Your tough mindedness
. Your tolerance to risk
. Your decision making and problems solving processes
And
Many, many other distinctions that when identified, will give you the edge, and the incredible insights both into your own behaviour and the behaviour of those around you, that will lead to your enhanced skill at managing your states and the states of those around you, enhance your performance, even in the most challenging of circumstances ,and lead to your greater success and control.
2. LOOK AFTER YOURSELF AND MANAGE YOUR CHOICES
Make sure you get between 7-9 hours of sleep a night - gone is the myth that super heroes function on less;
Eat 3 quality meals a day;
Hydrate your brain regularly
Avoid caffeine after 2 pm
Avoid blue screens for at least an hour before bed
Regularly oxygenate your brain and take regular exercise
Practise Mindful -you will become more aware of your unconscious processes and therefore have more power over what you think , how you feel , the decisions you make and the actions you take.
AND
3. MANAGE YOUR COGNITIVE RESOURCES
Reduce as many unimportant choices in your day as you can -
Choices about:
what you wear,
what you eat,
the times you eat and sleep and exercise;
So that you can save and conserve your limited cognitive resources for those important tasks and functions that you will need to carry out to achieve the goals you set
4. CREATE A COACHING ENVIRONMENT
It lead to high level thinking and robust executive functioning of your organisation’s collective brain, better communication and performance across the board.
