We have developed a process to access the flow state more readily for consistent peak performance. The Peak Performance Online Course gives us the materials to develop our own mental game plan(s) and adapt the process to anything in life.
By taking this class, we will be able to self-manage our emotions to decrease performance anxiety, increase confidence, and increase resilience. Here is a brief explanation of the 5 modules, and the process to consistent peak performance.
1. AWARENESS/PATTERNED BREATHING
Module 1 teaches us the importance of the mind-body-energy connection. In order to think clearly, self-manage our emotions and our physical body, we must take control through our breathing. By breathing in certain ways we give our bodies the oxygen it needs to perform and focus on what we want. This also increases our awareness to realize what we want to change. We will also better understand the anatomy and physiology to support its vital importance to the process.
2. PERFORMANCE GOALS
Everyone has heard of SMART goals, but now there are SMARTER goals. The “E” stands for evaluate and the “R” stands for revise. This allows for flexible thinking to go with the flow when changes occur or things don’t go the way we anticipated. Goals that stem from our values and give us purpose, increase intrinsic motivation. Creating small progressive goals increase motivation.
3. SELF-TALK
In this module we learn how to identify distorted thoughts, recognizing that we can change our thoughts to change our feelings, thus, changing our behavior/performance. Self-talk must come from each of us and be things that we believe. Our little voice is powerful because our mind is listening to what we say. We don’t realize that we can program our own brains like software to perform how we want. We learn how to self-coach and skills to redirect ourselves aka “take out the trash”. We also face things and learn the skills to have hard conversations with ourselves and others, set boundaries, and not feel guilty about it.
4. GROWTH MINDSET & EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
Dr. Carol Dweck’s book Mindset, termed “growth mindset” vs “fixed mindset”. This module teaches us how growth mindset is the key to resilience. Emotional intelligence has been researched for years and been continually proven to be the #1 predictor of one’s success. Module 4 will explain all the components of emotional intelligence so that we can take a time out from emotionally charged situations, to take a step back and view the situation more objectively, before putting ourselves back in our shoes to make a more well-informed decision aligned toward our goal and still considering the presences we need to go through to get there.
5. VISUALIZATION/MENTAL IMAGERY
In module 5, we learn about the power of visualization. Visualization is one of the most effective skills at decreasing stress and anxiety while also enhancing performance. We learn about the specifics we need to perform successful visualization. All of the skills build up to this most powerful tool.
