As humans, most of our life is spent on working our heads off so we can earn ourselves a spot in a world as competitive as this. To live a mark for which we can be remembered. Well, it’s a cycle of setting one goal after another. To our dismay, human needs cannot at any one time be completely fulfilled, never!
Denis Waitley, a great American author, warns that doing nothing is the biggest risk in life, which in itself, is implicitly risky. Take a look at how far you have come regarding the things you so much dreamed of achieving. Have you once reached a point of contentment with no further aspirations? I bet not.
It seems as though every achievement is an eye-opener for another opportunity, and that speaks volumes about how much of your ability is still in store. Let’s set out to understand the human potential and how to un-wrap it
What defines your potential?
With the notion that geniuses are made and not simply born, it is high time you appreciated how much your attitude contributes to the ability with which you can tune into the best version of your own self. It is indeed your choices that clearly dictate what you can achieve.
Human potential in itself is as limitless as our needs – interesting!
Unleashing your full potential
Employing positive thinking
Looking at things from a different perspective rather than that of impossibilities is the first step to realising your own potential. Accepting that there is room for advancement is such an attitude that clears away stress and increases self-belief.
Positive thinkers are also better at solving problems which in all honesty are a large component of our existence.
Repetitive action
It is said that there is not a task easier than that which you have done before. Repetition is only a way to ensure that the knowledge and skills you’ve acquired are deep-rooted. Among students, repetition has been found to greatly improve cognition and this definitely manifests in the improved grades.
Keeping focused
In a world full of distractions, some seemingly fun than your goal and of course besides the addictions you may have, choosing to drop these and training your brain to concentrate on a single task may be quite the job.
A study found that multi-tasking affects one’s attention with a higher likelihood of the distraction in a particular situation, taking precedence. Learning to block distractions helps to improve focus on any assignment.
Prioritising self-care
Your body is the source of all the ideas you might be seeking to implement. A healthy body yields brighter ideas and focusing on your physical and psychological well being should top the list of necessities for uncovering your real potential.
Regular physical activity, a good diet and enough sleep all have a good influence on your brain’s function. Keeping your brain refreshed gives room for brilliance in whatever you take on.
Adding some fun to the mission
What is a tomorrow before living today to the fullest? As you strive to rich the heights of your accomplishments, remember that you are your first beneficiary and this should drive you to spare some time to enjoy some fruits of that hard work. Find yourself some hobbies.
A little kindness to yourself has never been harmful any way.
Keeping a calm mind
Keeping calm not only allows you to see things clearly but also improves your concentration and guides your choice of decisions. Mental fatigue has been shown to decrease cognitive potential resulting in slowed performance or inaccuracy of duties.
For a calm mind, it is best to implore acts such as meditation, active and passive hobbies so as to improve results.
Augmenting the body’s functionality
Although the mainstay to a healthy body is a balanced diet, nutritionists recommend use of dietary supplements for a memory boost, improvement in focus and overall health. The vast array of vitamins and minerals contained in these serve to improve functioning of the different body systems leaving a completely renewed self.
