High Performance Health Maximising The Moment with AJ Mihrzad
Angela Foster is joined by AJ Mihrzad, best-selling author, high-performance connoisseur, and founder of Online Supercoach.
In this insightful and rewarding episode, AJ shares his formula for success, discusses the importance of health and energy on business and life, and the techniques he uses in order to achieve the state of mind that has led to his incredible success.
By doing so, we can always maximise the moment and get the most out of each second.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Many people assume that just because a diet works for one person, that it’ll work for them too. But we are each individuals, and our genetic makeup can be completely different. The key is to determine the best course of action depending on our own genetics.
- Coaching is the art of instilling energy, vitality and health so that people can in turn build healthy, vital companies in turn.
- AJ is a huge proponent of naps! Regular naps have improved his energy, his vitality and his focus. Coupled with intermittent fasting techniques and meditation, AJ has realised that the “8 Hour Sleep Cycle” is a dormant relic of yesteryear, when work cycles were much different.
- Our peak periods of creativity may arrive at different times. Some are day people, some are early risers. Some are night owls. It’s okay be creative at these times. Fitting sleep patterns around our most productive periods is perfectly acceptable.
- Optimising our work areas is a hugely beneficial practice. Allowing ourselves to move and even exercise while working can increase blood flow and productivity, as well as reduce aches, pains and physical stresses.
- The effect of alcohol on health - Angela is keen to note the difference between drinking a glass of fine red wine, which can contain higher levels of anti-oxidants, and that has been prepared and cared for in a more natural way, is very different to wine you would buy in a store, which is usually full of sulphites. The problem is the quality of the alcohol we consume, and the fact that so many indulge too heavily.
- Prioritising the care of our health will ultimately ensure our ability to earn. That’s why health is so important to the most successful entrepreneurs and those in business.
- For AJ, it’s not enough to “fake it till you make it”. The route to real success is built upon the skill to turn ourselves, internally, into the person who achieves our goals.
- True success comes from maximising each moment. This begins by asking ourselves constantly: “How can I capitalise on this moment and make the most out of it?"
