THE 6 PILLARS OF PEAK PERFORMANCE

SLEEP

Too often we can fall guilty of wishing we had more hours of sleep, or more hours in the day to get more things done and still get a full night's sleep. 

One thing to know about sleep is, it isn't about the quantity of sleep that you have, but rather the quality that is the most important factor. Aiming to get a fully restored sleep every night consisting of 60-90 minutes of Deep Sleep and 90 minutes of REM Sleep to be fully functioning the next day. In today’s fast-tracked world, sleep deprivation severely impacts our health and it must be resolved especially if you want to become the ultimate high performing man

MOVEMENT

Movement is essential if you want to live a healthy and fulfilling life. Not only for the physical benefits of dropping body fat, increasing muscle mass, improving your cardiovascular system and improving confidence. But, certain types of workouts can boost neurotransmitter levels in the brain, can enhance your mood, boost your intelligence and cognitive function, decrease incidences of depression, delay age-related cognitive impairments.

Taking part in daily exercise improves people’s cognitive performance, including their executive functioning, attention and memory, as well as their brain structure. In older adults especially, physical activity has been shown to increase the size of the hippocampus, which is the part of the brain responsible for memory, learning and emotion.

Muscle mass correlates with a decrease in all-cause mortality. Simply put, the more muscle mass you have, the lesser the risk of dying from a chronic disease than some of your peers.

Not only will exercise make you smarter, but the process of achieving your goals will build confidence, mental resilience, and give you more energy to dominate in your career.

STRESS

Stress is an important part of your life. To try and remove stress from your life, is 1. Stupid and 2. Impossible. What is key is understanding how stress affects your body and your performance. Too much stress on a daily basis will have a negative impact and be a detriment to your sleep, health, body composition, libido mood and performance. 

Our body is controlled by the two branches of the autonomic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). The sympathetic is responsible for the response commonly referred to as "fight or flight," while parasympathetic is referred to as "rest and function.” We want to avoid having that sympathetic nervous system active day AND night. This is what a lifestyle of "too much of everything and no conscious control" could potentially cause. 

If you are constantly living in a sympathetic state, there is only so much you can manage until something has to give. If you know how your mind and body react to stress and you can control and balance your stress levels throughout the day, then you will become unstoppable..

NOURISHMENT

Do you fuel your body as though it is a Formula 1 car or a diesel truck? If you were an athlete, would the food you eat help or hinder your performance? If you were to deliver the most important speech of your life would you be energizing or lethargic? What we put in is what we get out; when it comes to the food we eat and fluids we ingest. It isn’t about calories in and calories out, but rather what your body can absorb and utilise as nutrition has a big impact on both your physical and mental condition.

If you really want to become healthier and more focused you have to be in it for the long game. Eat for the brain and the body will follow. Remember the brain is literally what controls all our bodily functions. Many people focus on the body first, which can have a negative effect on the brain. If you focus on the number of calories you eat, because you want to lose weight then you take the risk of eradicating important nutrients that your body and mind requires to function effectively. Eating food that allows the brain to perform, focus without stopping every couple of minutes and feel supercharged is the new frontier of nutrition for leadership performance.

HABITS

Why do some people succeed more quickly than others, and maintain that success over the course of decades? It’s simple really, it isn’t motivation. Michael Jordan famously said “...the reason I became the best isn’t because I was motivated…it’s because I was disciplined.” 

Routines, habits and structure that's how you become successful.. Routines allow us to create positive daily habits that promote self-care and maintaining structure and routines can help you feel more organised and in control especially during times of high stress. Structuring your day also allows you to enable to accomplish those basic tasks that must be done, that will leave you with the time to schedule in other things that you want or need to accomplish

MINDSET

Your mindset is the ultimate determinant of your success and if you can win the battle in your mind on a daily basis, then your body has no choice but to follow. 

A high-performance mindset is a mental tool for increasing competence and self-improvement to excel in a high-pressure environment. It’s often said that leaders with a high-performance mindset have no limit on their growth and success. They define success in terms of exceeding potential and pursuing new, unexplored heights of achievement. They’re relentless and daring – staying on-mission through failure and defeat because they view them as great learning opportunities. 

However, how do you know what success really looks like if you don’t envision and write down exactly what or where you want to be in a certain period of time. Ensure you surround yourself with people who want and bring out the best in you. Ask yourself, are they adding to you or simply draining you? Afterall, you are the sum of the five people around you.Your mindset is the ultimate determinant of your success and if you can win the battle in your mind on a daily basis, then your body has no choice but to follow.
