The Biology of Success

The Biology of Success
© 2000 by Bob Arnot

Create mental energy, create positive thought. Most of successful people have high positive effects most of the time. Life’s biggest winners get knocked down again and again but they firmly and mentally believe they can win. Energy peaks around nine to eleven in the morning and falls with the course of day. While your biological clocks which is alerting on and off, you also have the power to enhance this alertness. You seek exciting pursuits that will activate this alertness switch. You can use environmental light, temperature, cool dry air, aroma such as peppermint.

The optimal temperature for mental work is 70 degrees. Also consider an ionizer, which improves air quality in your indoor space. Rosemary helps improve concentration and aids in overcoming learning difficulties. In Japan lemon essence is often transmitted through the ventilation system. Peppermint, lemon, lemongrass, Mandarin orange, eucalyptus, rosemary are all good for energizers. Clutter: eliminate clutter, keep electrical and computer cable out of sight. Use mirrors to make your office look larger. Hand paintings where can see them. Choose large plants for your office. Music has remarkable property that can propel you toward success. Recall the grand and noble thoughts that seem to flow while you were listening to great symphony. Music is genius. Find music that matches your current mood. Isomotic means same mood and refers the principle of beginning treatment by matching the existing mood and then the music that would relax your desired mood at the end.

You can improve the alertness by eating protein. Too many carbohydrates and tryptophan wins the competition. Feed forward eating. Use higher protein concentration in the morning and for lunch. Use protein in the evening only if you have to be sharp and alert. Fish oil, include fish in the diet. Have a high protein start as soon as you are out of bed and al least 20 minutes before you eat the rest of your breakfast. Yogurt, fish, skimmed milk, soya milk, soya protein mixed with eggs.

After showering and dressing eat a main breakfast. High fiber serial, oatmeal, yogurt and high a fiber fruit. Try non-caffeinated tea as an energizing morning drink. Black tea or gray contains essence of bergamot which is an anti depressant. Don’t eat high fat food such as bacon, or sausages or half hash brown. Eat fruit for lunch snack for morning snack. Lunch concentrate on high protein lunch with tuna, turkey chicken greenly leafy vegetables and legumes with foliage, beans, drink lots of water. The most practical high performance work diet is pretty close to a caveman’s diet, high in proteins, fruits and vegetables with few grains for the working day.

Play should rejuvenate the brain allowing us to reach for fresh new ideas. Life should deliver some form of relation, take up new challenges, play Walter Mitty, learn things you have never done before, things you only dreamed of. Find someone who makes you feel good about yourself. I find talented thought for individualized instructions do wonderful psychotherapy.

I resolve to have self-discipline to be the very best I could be. The harder the better. Exercise is the magic bullet for creating mental energy. I find vigorous exercise far more effective than current exercise for lowering my tension level for the rest of the day. The best stress busting routines in one set make you feel hard in terms are with moderate resistance with 12 to 18 repetitions. Be sure sweep the last two reps that you get a real burn. Only 12% of us are exercising at levels suggested by experts.

Appearance creates self-esteem which breeds success. In life there are very few things that we have real control over; one of them is our appearance. Set a ritual, if you create too much chaos in your life you can concentrate on being really creative in your work. To be truly successful you must follow a ritual. Rituals are the foundations of success. Be doing your everyday routine so you can be wildly created in your work. Routine simplify, clarify and create orders symmetry and familiarity in chaos and high stress.

I tried to be extraordinarily organized and tried to compartmentalize my time into dictation, meetings, phone calls, naps, relaxation and meals. Don’t waste your most precious mental energy on routine phone calls. The aim of strategically placing your stats is to give yourself stunning mental energy. I use a single computer for everything. It’s a Mac laptop and I carry it nearly everywhere. I rely on a nationwide one-rate phone. I can get text or voicemail messengers sent to it, receive paging and route all my calls.

World-class ritual produces world-class performance. Routing, anchoring and securing time. Start by establishing great sleep rituals and then add exercise and eating. You will notice that even a small change will dramatically improve your prime time creative activity. For most people it’s a utmost importance to create the best possible routines for the morning and the early parts of the day. Launching the day is like a launching a missile. If you launch the day badly then the entire day goes badly. By fixing notes and planning in advance with ease your will become vastly more efficient. Michael Crichton would pick one kind of lunch to eat everyday during the month he is writing a novel.

Set aside prime time as a ritual time to do your best work in a space specifically set aside for prime time. If you are frequent traveler take your time to ritualize your departure. Don’t make it a fresh adventure each time out the door. Leave the much bigger buffer then you needs make a plain car or bus. Preserve mental capital. Pathologically high-tension levels kill mental energy. People are robbed of many creative moments because they can’t concentrate long enough.

Calm energy is the ideal need for superior mental performance. There are four categories of mood, calm energy, calm tiredness, tense energy, and tense tiredness. Worry increases the risk of heart attack, avoids sleep, alcohol, caffeine, anger. Aspartame is linked to afternoon depression anxiety and truly foul mood. Craving for caffeine is usually a symptom of too little sleep or poor quality sleep, big meals really do kill good mood. Plan logically a successful day. Make it a great day. Match activities to fit your biological rhythm. Synchronize your most creative time with a creative activity. Design your day by building a fortress around the time when you know you are most productive and leading out all peripheral activity. Drink up your protein beverage just after rising. Exercise, play motivational music, eat uncooked oatmeal, socialize in the morning.

8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. is prime time activity thus promoting your life career goal. Take caffeine without sugar in the morning. Play energetic and firing music. Extend your morning peak as long as possible or eating lunch that’s why big breakfast is so important for making it all last.

2:00 to 3:30 p.m. follow through on morning initiatives.

3:30 to 5:00 take 15-minute nap, take a 10 minute walk to revive yourself. Stack positive activity. Early evening eat a very small dinner for peak performance. Most of us pour ourselves with waging the actual number of productive hours we have a day.

Better to have three very strong creative hours then spend 12 hours going to work. Rise at the exact same time every morning. Sleeping in on Saturdays and Sundays is completely out of whack until mid-week. Associate your room with rest rather than work or quarrel. Create and maintain a bedtime ritual, for example spend a few minute reading for pleasure every night. Schedule less taxing activities for the post lunch dip; take a power nap. Create positive thought, be an optimist every movement, nature strength, learn emotional broadcasting, optimist are the most skillful manipulators of reality.

Jonas Salk said “if I were a young scientist today, I would still do immunization. But instead of immunizing kids physically, I would do it psychologically. I see these psychologically immunized kids could then fight off mental and physical illness better. Fights to stay in the present don’t let the future ruin the present. Don’t get dragged into the past. Broadcast winning emotions to build a winning a team around you. The heart of emotional broadcasting is best are not what you say but the emotional changes you affect on those around you that count. The next time you write down a list of priorities associate strong positive emotions with them.

When you make others feel better they will make you feel better, you are mobilizing energy. Joe Gerard who is the best card salesmen ever simply sent cards on people’s birthdays and said the same thing “I like you”. What is the dominant emotion I broadcast, emotional support is extremely important for everyone who makes a difference and how will people can deal with traumatic situation. Life’s big winners see the situation as they envision it and they live it. Visualize in the early evening and after work and play some great music. Good food to eat: soy beans, lentils, green beans, skimmed milk, chic peas, apple, pear, all brands, non–fat vanilla yogurt, egg white, non fat cottage cheese, tuna, chicken breast, turkey breast, reduced fat cheese, Mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, ground beef with more calories.
