Biohacking & Health Optimization for quality decision-making in executives
I want you to become a scientist of yourself. To do that, you need to know yourself in depth.
That’s Biohacking. It’s as simple as that.
Self-responsibility, self-knowledge, emotional intelligence, emotional management, those are all topics of soft skills that need a lot of your biochemical knowledge. For instance, biochemically speaking, people tend to give up when they’re in the middle of something. People exhibit a bigger tendency of not doing a good job and just slapping things together halfway during the processes.
Why I am telling you this? Being aware of this already lightens the load of knowing that you’ll really want to quit and procrastinate in the middle of something. If you’re aware of this condition of your biological timing, you’ll be able to come up with a timeline that takes into account the natural consequences of this dip.
Just like the bell curve is scientifically proven, so is the U curve and it represents a natural order just like any other force of nature: storms, gravity or the human impulse of eating way more tasty things than healthy ones.
The science of Timing has revealed that the middle points cause powerful and peculiar effects on what we do and how we do it. The middle point of our lives or our process can either be disastrous or stimulant.
The writer Daniel Pink calls these effects slumps or sparks. Knowing that you’re approaching a midpoint, you can choose if you want a positive or a negative effect. Think of it as a psychological awakening. If you set the alarm, you know you have to get moving. You need a focused midpoint explosion.
Midpoints are so much a fact of life as a force of nature, but that doesn’t make their effects unrelenting. Our biggest hope is transforming a slump into a spark. I’ll give you three easy steps suggested by the scientists.
First of all, stay alert to the midpoints. Don’t leave it invisible in your decisions. Second, use them to rise above and not to procrastinate. Last but not least, imagine you’re just a single step away from your goal. Almost there.
