LIFESTYLE OPTIMISATION
MOVEMENTS & MOMENTS
Understanding the Small Steps, Everyday
"Dreams without goals are just dreams and ultimately they fuel disappointments. On the road to achieving your dreams, you must apply discipline, but more importantly, consistency. Because without commitment, you will never start, but without consistency, you will never finish." ~ Denzel Washington
There are ways to optimise your lifestyle and build a strategy to suit your unique blueprint and legacy. In terms of longevity: how do we want to feel in a year, or in a decade? Once we begin to think about our lifestyle sustaining us over time we start to make different decisions in the present moment.
Small, consistent improvements in one's habits, skills, and personal knowledge leads to significant personal growth and achievement overtime. This emphasises the importance of consistency and persistence. The key idea is that small, consistent actions or investments, when repeated over time, can yield remarkable results.
Lifestyle Optimisation is the use of creative and lateral thinking to assess and improve all aspects of daily life. There’s no one-size-fits-all for anything, and this is absolutely true for creating an exceptional life.
Lifestyle optimisation is not purely habit accumulation, although understanding habit stacking is advantageous to creating successful lifestyle optimisation strategies, (more on this shortly). One technique we will be working with directly is the ‘compounding effect methodology’, a concept from economics where small incremental changes or investments lead to significant cumulative results immediately as well as over time.
In finance, compounding refers to the process where the interest on an investment earns further interest on both the principal and the previously earned interest, thus leading to exponential growth of wealth. Our optimisation strategy builds on your initial capital and then subsequently on each investment you make in yourself daily, weekly and monthly.
For holistic wellness ~ consistent changes such as regular exercise, balanced diet, and sufficient sleep, can lead to improved health and fitness over time. The methodology involves setting clear goals, tracking progress, and maintaining discipline in making those small, incremental changes as investments. Over time, these actions compound, leading to substantial positive outcomes.
The difference between habit stacking and Lifestyle Optimisation
Habit stacking examples include the things you do for life: such as hygiene - brushing your teeth every morning and evening for the rest of your life; a hydration habit is vital to accumulate and might contribute to optimising your general health and something you can add to a compounding strategy.
Other habits include putting on the washing machine every night on a timer and ensuring the house doors are locked, the car insurance is paid on time and other daily routines to support your general wellbeing.
Habit stacking to live a life without overwhelm is absolutely necessary and we will learn via compounding, how to refine and streamline your daily habits to go deeper into Lifestyle Optimisation.
An optimisation compound is a deliberate hammering into one particular thing, and investigating it from all different angles to get a desired result in the shortest amount of time possible; with the intention to have or maintain this result for a long-term benefit.
Once you have cracked the Lifestyle Optimisation compound methodology you can repeat it and integrate it permanently into your lifestyle.
Theres more to come about lifestyle optimisation! But before we go there, the first step in your journey to a longer and happier life is a rested nervous system. Without connecting into our nervous system we can never truly embody the change we are seeking.
