As an executive or athlete at the top of your game, or a successful professional or entrepreneur it’s essential to be laser sharp, results focused and one step ahead of the pack. Whereas most may know that looking after your physical health and your mental wellbeing is a given if you are to sustain being a high performer, looking after your brain health is likely more important.
Peak Performance in everyday life becomes about being able to focus fully, act calmly, sleep soundly and think clearly. It is about having the ability to keep the mind clear, sharp and flexible as the demands and environment change.
It is about the ability to ramp up to optimal functioning as and when needed and then relax afterwards and not become stuck in an unhelpful state of mind such as anxiety or anger or disappointment that can throw the rest of your performance off.
Engagement and arousal regulation are critical among the many variables that contribute to brain states, and a top performer who can exercise volitional control of these aspects of brain state has a supreme advantage in their field.
Operating at peak performance starts with
knowing how to optimise how well your brain works.
