I have selected these 3 things, which you can easily implement right now to bio-hack your life and improve your own performance.
3 things you can do right now to bio-hack your life:
1. Bio-hack your past with radical forgiveness.
Learn to put yourself into a relaxed, meditative state which raises your alpha brainwaves in order to increase your intuition, creativity and problem-solving abilities. Fear takes away your ability to be who you are. Release past fears and anger so that you can be your best self.
Using measurable results from his “40 Years of Zen” program, Bio-Hacker Dave Asprey demonstrated that one of the best ways to increase your alpha brainwaves is by forgiving people or things that have upset you in the past. Practice forgiveness regularly. As you do this, you let go of the baggage your brain is still carrying from the past to free yourself to be who you are meant to be at your best.
2. Bio-hack your present by being present.
Take time to celebrate the now and don’t put off your happiness until the future. Take time to be in and to enjoy the present. Do this by balancing work and play, aiming for the sweet spot between enjoying life and trying hard.
Take responsibility for the quality of your thoughts, for they shape your reality. To help you be in the present, practice mindfulness and emphasis on the quality of your breathing.
Practice daily gratitude, which puts you in an abundance mindset and turns off the fear while also improving the quality of your sleep.
Take a minute for mindfulness when feeling overwhelm. Focus on something in front of you, pay attention to the object and allow yourself to have this moment instead of fear.
3. Bio-hack your future with “I Am Enough”.
Marisa Peer, a renowned UK psychologist and hypnotherapist, has found the fear of “I am not enough” to be one of the most common underlying issues affecting people. Remind yourself daily that you are enough by practicing saying “I am enough” and free yourself to be who you are meant to be at your best.
Be the author of your life story. Evict any fear that doesn’t serve your future. Hold remaining fear in one hand and passion in the other and take a leap. Make sure that the story you write is well worth the read.
Robert Richman, Co-Founder of Zappos summed it up beautifully: “Make your life a movie you want to be in and make it real”.
“You can choose the blue pill to stay in your current world or the red pill to wake up to the truth.”
