How to function at a higher level
As humans it is in our very nature to conserve energy, do less, pursue pleasure and avoid pain. We needed to do that when we were living in caves, but our primitive brain is still there and when we act unconsciously we default to our primitive brain. However, we are far from our cave dwelling days and we need to use our prefrontal cortex now to evolve.
These days we often look for ways to uplevel our lives and overcome our current limitations. Whether this is in our careers, relationships or in the personal development world. The good news is that it is entirely possible to tap into your evolved brain to function at a higher level.
Start by cultivating a growth mindset. You have to be open to all the things and you have to believe that your abilities and intelligence can be developed with a little effort and learning. Start dreaming of the person you want to be and then start making that happen. You are not fixed, you are superbly capable of so much more
How to function at a higher level – Set some clear goals.
These provide you with something for your brain to focus on and will also give you motivation to function at a higher level. Brainstorm all the things you want to do, want to be, the things that you want and then pick one. Yes, only one. You just want your brain to focus on one thing at a time or your energy may be too scattered or you could get overwhelmed when you are focusing on too many things. You need to go all in on your chosen goal and if you work with a coach they can help you with this.
Remember to look after yourself. You are important. Without good health and mental agility, you will take strain. You want to create a strong foundation for yourself. Making your dreams come true takes energy. Get enough sleep, eat healthy, energetic foods, move your body and take time to rest. These are well known principles of self-care, yet we often neglect ourselves.
Part of having a growth mindset is also to keep learning.
At school we are taught a lot of facts, yet very little skills in living or even mastering your life or your mind. For you who don’t like learning, find things that you are interested in and delve into those topics. We are all keen to learn what we are interested in. The upside of learning is that it keeps our mind agile and open and it helps us to deal with challenges confidently.
When you are setting your goals, you will also learn to manage your time more effectively. Since I have started doing this, I have achieved so much more than if I just did things when I felt like it. We all have finite time on this planet. Use every minute you have to your benefit and achieving your goals.

How to function at a higher level
Last night, I taught a class in my Elegant CEO Workshop about putting yourself in the right environments. Ones that support who you want to be, that support the future you. Surround yourself with positive people who can inspire you and motivate you.
Remember failing is always going to be part of the deal. However, this is not a sign to stop, in actual fact you should then be more determined to keep going. We just learn from failure and anyone who is really successful has failed over and over again. It’s your resilience after the fact that counts and makes you stronger.
This brings me to the world around you, which is constantly changing and the ability to adapt is a great skill for functioning at a higher level. Being open-minded will allow you to take advantage of opportunities as they come up. Don’t see change as a threat, always look at it with curiosity.
Finally
Find things in your life that will help you stay inspired on your journey. It could be through art, music, nature or your chosen people who are an inspiration to you.
You are amazing and the chance at life you have been given is amazing. Make the most of it, live your best life, push boundaries and keep striving for the best version of yourself that you can be.
Till next week.
