We have a pretty good concept of athletic peak performance. It’s probably the person who wins. But most of us don’t make a living as athletes. Most of us need mental peak performance to advance.
Two types of mental tasks summon either the right and/or the left brain. We are either in the logic, calculating, language mode, or we are in the creative, intuitive, emotional mode.
Some tasks do require the whole brain and synthesis of right and left. This is the function of the pre-frontal cortex that organizes our mental process like a conductor.
Three easy ways to power up our brain:
- Eat healthy
- Get Exercise
- Get Rest
The don’t do side would include:
- Don’t ingest negative influences on performance
- Don’t drain brain on meaningless activities (tv, news, texting, gossip)
- Don’t let negative glass is half full or anxiety weigh on brain
Putting it together might look like:
- Eating natural foods supports right and left brain
- Aerobic Exercise at least every other day supports brain waves
- Gratitude and contribution fuel positive energies
- Doing most important work first focuses brain power
- Avoid activities that drain energy and are not contributing or productive
- Avoid procrastination
- Have house in order regarding finances, relationships, and responsibilities
Then if you want to really put it in high gear:
- Spend most important time on passions every day
- Have gratitude that you are here
- Contribute to others to make their lives better
Positive feelings and positive activities put life in “flow”. Flow produces dopamine which is the brain’s chemical for happiness. Shawn Achor in The Happiness Advantage claims happy people perform best.
