  1. Take outstanding care of your body

Your body is the most amazing thing you will ever own, and without a healthy and firm body, it’s hard to become the best version of yourself. So the first thing you should do in order to achieve your maximum potential and peak performance is to take outstanding care of your body. An exercise routine, a healthy diet, getting enough rest etc. are a few ways that can help you.

 

  1. Take outstanding care of your mind

We live in the knowledge society and taking care of your mind is extremely important. Your mind is the greatest asset to create, deliver and capture as much value as possible and you should also take care of your mind to make good life decisions. If you want to achieve your peak potential, you have to take control of your mind; otherwise your mind will hinder your potential instead of supporting you in achieving your peak performance. If you don’t take over the control of your mind, the mind will instead focus on negative thinking and cognitive distortions. The best way to take control of your mind is to practice meditation, focus on gratitude and what you already have in life.

Here are some very actionable things you can do to develop your mind to the maximum and become the best version of yourself in this aspect:

  • Meditate
  • Write down one thing you are grateful for every day
  • Be a lifelong learner – constantly develop your competences, read and read a lot, go to lectures and seminars, take online courses, respect knowledge and make sure you acquire a lot of it.
  • Always try new things in life – take a new route home, try a new sport or a hobby, do the opposite of what you usually do, travel, learn a new language etc.

 

  1. Take outstanding care of your emotions

Taking care of your mind already has a very positive influence on your emotions. By focusing on the positive and extensively dealing with your cognitive distortions, your emotions will also become much more positive. But that is not enough for you to achieve your peak performance. Your ideal self is kind of a vision of who you want to become but vision without emotional backup and strong will to act is just an illusion.

You have to act out of a sense of mission and inspiration if you want to constantly improve yourself. You want to have a mission that is bigger than any life problems and obstacles you will meet on your way to becoming the best version of yourself. Your emotions are the ones fueling your motivation and willpower, so you must employ your emotions as fuel that drives your improvements.

 

  1. Take outstanding care of your spirit

Taking care of your spirit means that you have strong faith in life. There are many different ways of taking care of your spirit and that is okay  if they help you become the best version of yourself and if you are not hurting others with any radical beliefs.

Doing good, being thankful, helping people and the society, these are all things that bring peace and general good into your life. This is how you take care of your spirit and it’s a very important part of your personality and becoming the best version of yourself.

 

  1. Take outstanding care of your relationships

It’s impossible to live a quality and happy life without many healthy and deep relationships; and it’s impossible to become the best version of yourself without having outstanding relationships in life and taking good care of them. People can make you or break you. You need a dream team of people in your personal life and you need a dream team of people in your professional life. Therefore, if you want to achieve your peak performance, you have to strategically build relationships. You have to meet many different people and keep the ones that give you the most in your life. The choice of who you will spend time with is completely yours, and you must choose wisely.
