The ability to rise and shine 365 days a year is a difficult feat for anyone. There are always obstacles and opportunities at every turn which can in fact drain your physical, emotional and intellectual energies. More so when you are dealing with sustained personal or professional crisis. Stress, a silent killer can be quietly eating away at you. You then slowly reduce or increase your appetite, sleep becomes a luxury, yet the list of deliverables on your plate continues to mount.
The mind and body is an intricate, complex and sophisticated union. Taking great care of both will give you the edge in all aspects of your being, while failing to, will yield the inevitable crisis none of us can afford.
Today I wish to share with you 7 Peak Performance Habits to Master:
One – Get enough shut eye
Burning the midnight oil on both ends, leaves you exhausted, unfocused and unproductive. Get sufficient, regulated sleep. It varies from between 4 – 6 hours per person. Should you suffer sleepless nights, consult a sleep doctor who can assist you in finding regular, quality sleep. Beware that oversleeping can also cause drudgery in your day. So get to bed and make it count, don’t count sheep. The edge you have when well rested is high energy, clarity of thinking and definiteness of purpose.
“To be prepared is half the victory” – Miguel Cervantes
Two – Work out
I know how busy you are. Dawn to dusk and some more chasing duty, responsibility and accountability. I know you’re busy. That should be no excuse for the investment in your physical health. Take time out of your schedule to run, swim, gym etc. Peak performers are in peak shape because they get the return on investment in the physical activity. They’re brighter, more alert, sharper, more focused and lethal in the work place. A healthy body is a healthy mind. Execute and get results.
“Cry in training, laugh on the battlefield” – Samurai Maxim
Three – Eat like a king
I don’t mean consume unlimited low quality, high quantities of processed foods. Mother nature has gifted us fruits, nuts, berries, cherries and many other high oxidant foods that supply the heart and brain fuel to achieve your goals. Why not take advantage of these? Cut back on the junk and minimize the trunk. Drink lots of water through your days. Not only does it hydrate, it also aids the brain function, keeping you on point for longer. You are what you eat, so eat like a champion.
“Simplicity is the key to brilliance” – Bruce Lee
Four – Fill your cup
Whatever your religious or spiritual persuasion, fill your cup. When connected there is magic in everything you do. Attend, participate and learn the wisdom of ancient teachings and apply them to your daily life. There is power in spirit, greater than matter. An empty cup makes a lot of noise, but a full cup beams with wisdom. Go on, fill it up…
“Make no small plans for they have no power to stir the soul” –Niccolo Machiavelli
Five – Invest in You Inc.
Invest in your becoming. Buy and read books that will grow your inner self and your income. Attend workshops and courses that make you better than you were yesterday. Sacrifice time and money and the return on this investment will make you unstoppable and will also line your bank account. You are your greatest asset, make it count for something. Do something for yourself and in turn will do for your family. Invest in YOU Inc. before you sink in the ocean of competition, new technology and ideology. Become a free thinker, not a dogmatic slave.
“Imagine the possibility of unlimited possibilities” – Unknown
Six – Choose your friends
When you hang out with losers, don’t be surprised where you end up…yes “Loserville”. Hang out with people who share your values, your aspirations, your ambitions. They will fuel you to go out and do whatever it takes. They will unlock doors of opportunity, make new introductions to key people who can assist you in becoming all that you be. So, choose your friends wisely.
“To think is easy. To act is hard. But the hardest thing in the world is to act in accordance with your thinking” – Goethe
Seven – Rest & Relaxation
Make sure you get enough rest and relaxation. Play outdoors in nature. Go for long walks on the beach, forest or mountains. The fresh air and beautiful scenery will give you new inspirational ideas, unlock your creativity and soothe your mind. Take advantage of early morning sunrise walks while the phone does not ring. While everyone else is asleep. Join a yoga class that uses nature as its backdrop. Watch the sunset while having a picnic with your partner. Rest your mind and tap into pure energy.
“You can motivate by fear, and you can motivate by reward. But both those methods are only temporary. The only lasting thing is self motivation” – Homer Rice
Remember, exceptional results only come from exceptional efforts.Exceptional efforts only come from exceptional people. Become that exceptional person, start by committing to becoming that person of value then regardless of the challenges on hand, you can handle them like the champ you are.
“You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one” – James Froude
