Six steps to peak performance
Have a vision
What, exactly, are you aiming for? Think about what it will be like when you get there. Don’t let your final goals fade into the background.
Set yourself targets
There’s a lot of work to do, and most of it needs doing very soon. It’s easy to get bogged down in the day-to-day, and not go in any particular direction. But if you’re not heading in any one direction, how can you get anywhere?
Get out of this trap. Decide what you want. Choose a target. Go for a target that you really want, or your energy will soon dry up.
Then, when you plan your days, make sure you include something that will help you towards your target.
Stretch yourself
You can go for an easy life, and stick with things you can do easily. It will save you from some stress, but you need a challenge to stop you getting bored. You will lose out on the sense of achievement when you get it right, and your self-esteem may erode away.
Believe you can do it
If you’re going to stretch yourself, there will be times when the target seems too hard. Remind yourself of what you’ve achieved in the past, and what you can do to achieve your targets in the future. Don’t listen to people who doubt your abilities, especially if that person is you.
Start now
Get started on your target now. There is something you can do today to push you that little bit further.
Enjoy today
It’s hard work going for the peak. Don’t forget the good things about your life today. You can’t live in the future, not yet, so enjoy the now. Don’t brood over the past either. Whatever’s happened, that’s past, and you can’t change it. If it’s bad, put it in a box. If it’s good, incorporate it into your future.
