Optimise your World CAMPUS - template
Transcript: We genuinely only use a very small percentage of our real group potential, when we don't act as unit Real-time Resilience is where with practice we develop an ability to intervene and take control of any situation, the split second it occurs; creating a buffer of time to form a measured response. Without this buffer we are likely to engage in an unskilful thought pattern and the associated emotions; potentially leading to the unnecessary creation of a situation where there is no coming back from. The experts on achieving Masterclass, advise us to follow and commit ourselves to the following steps 1. Establish a number of suitable Masterclass role modules to aspire to & even surpass 2. Research their habits, their common values and beliefs; what worked for them and what did not 3. Find yourself a suitable worthy mentor 4. Create a road map to Masterclass, based on the finding of your research; and commit yourself to it. Remember to follow what resonates with your intuition 5. Monitor your progress against your road map; don’t be afraid to update your plan if it feels right to do so 6. Practice realistic optimism to maintain your natural buoyancy, and resilience to maintain your natural reservoir; for when required 7. Speak about your endeavour openly and positively; it will not only help to engrain it in your psyche; it will also increase your chances of making the right connections and open the right doors for you 8. Dig deep and find your true grit, when you require it. Recommit when you feel like giving up; this sometimes requires you to change your thoughts and perceptions, allowing you to see beyond and get around the obstacles (use Perceiving Directly / your intuition for this) 9. Based on extensive research of various masters by Anders Ericsson; it takes on average 10,000 hours of dedication, focus and exemplar practice to achieve a level of Masterclass. When others are at home watching TV; the Masterclass are busy refining their skills, so they are committed to muscle memory and become second nature Quote from Robert Greene, the author of the book ‘Mastery’. Robert spent 12 years studying the greats of the past and interviewing the present time greats. This I feel sums Mastery up very well. “All of us have access to a higher form of intelligence, one that can allow us to see more of the world, to anticipate trends, to respond with speed and accuracy to any circumstances. This intelligence is cultivated by deeply immersing ourselves in a field of study and saying true to our inclinations, no matter how unconventional our approach might seem to others. This such intense immersion over many years, we come to internalize and gain an intuitive feel with the rational processes; we expand our minds to the outer limits of our potential and are able to see into the secret core of life itself ” “You can’t stop the waves; but you can learn to surf” Jon Kabat Zinn, Don't wait...... start now...... If not now......then when? Make the commitment to yourself & the team before you leave this room! BASE CAMP The Cornerstone of Performance PEAK 4 If you aren't getting 7-8 hours restful sleep (where your body & mind is calm & relaxed), you will struggle to operate at your optimum; the experts also say less than 6 or more than 8 is ill advised Why Optimise? The following can also trigger stress responses; 1. A Pessimistic general outlook – optimists have a 77% lower risk of heart disease than pessimists 2. Worry / Anxiety – makes the amygdala go ballistic 3. Working at job you hate - when your integrity & purpose is on the line; you are much more likely to wind up in a chronic repetitive stress response 4. Toxic relationships – you may be better off alone than being around people who stress out your nervous system; when you feel threatened in a relationship not just physically but emotionally, your nervous system interprets this as danger 5. Childhood traumas- places, scents, songs or other sounds, can remind and trigger the fight or flight response 6. Feelings of helplessness 7. Hunger – sends the danger message to the amygdala that there is a problem; even if you are on a diet the response can be triggered 8. Unforgiven resentments – it is not just the rage that will flip you into “fight or flight” mode, trivial unrelated events like trying to find a parking space can also trigger it Synchronicity Go the extra mile; you will be surprised how few travel along it 8. Keen– be eager to help each other out and remember it can only be a two way system PEAK 1 Scientists have proven that if we entertain positive thoughts; we create more and faster pathways in the brain to hard-wire in optimism, as a life skill or trait. What an incentive As our brains have the capacity to form new connections; there is always scope to transform our abilities Optimism helps us to see beyond the obstacles; we don’t need to always know what to do next but trust that with intuition and optimism: we will find a way When the old 'survival'
