7 Tips On How To Keep In A Peak State At All Times

Every activity you approach in life, and the energy you put behind it is linked to one very important thing; the state you are in at the time. If you want to increase your success, then you need to start becoming actively aware of your state of mind at all times.

The state you are in is never fixed and can be altered at any moment. At times when you are frustrated all it can take to change your state is a walk down the street or a phone call to a friend, yet changing your state can transform the results of whatever you are doing at the time.

The reality is that I could never write blog posts on Addicted2Success with the same passion unless I were following the art form of managing my state. Many people ask me what the secret is to everything I have written to date; as you all know I am happy to share any of my wisdom, and the answer to this question is state.

To be able to create a peak state consistently you will be required to give up stimulants like coffee or sugary drinks. These drinks artificially increase your state of mind and stop you from staying at your peak for a sustained period.

You can never inspire, influence or impact another human being unless you are in a peak state and are linking this state directly with your passion, energy and vision for life. Stop settling for second best and start to increase your results through changing your state!

Below are my seven tips for keeping in a peak state at all times.

1. Watch your physiology

Whenever I want to change my state, the first thing I do is look at my physiology. You need to look at the way you are sitting or standing, the position of your shoulders, the tone of your voice, body language, etc. Ask yourself, are all these things demonstrating power, enthusiasm and energy?

If the answer is no, you need to change them. When you adjust each component, you will start to feel different, and your state will change. You can also try a few “power moves” to alter your state even further like fist pumps, yelling an incantation, and plenty more which I will leave you to Google.

2. Read before important events

Before any important event such as writing this blog post, I always read a chapter or more of an empowering book. As you focus your mind on words that are thought-provoking and create feelings of inspiration, your state alters at the same time.

To compound the outcome further, you can read the words on the page out loud in a strong voice to get the full effect. No matter how hard you try and resist, you will feel energy rushing through you (assuming the book is inspiring enough). You may also experience a goosebump moment.

3. Use some pump up music

Straight after reading an inspiring book, I recommend following this with some high-energy music. I usually like House Music or RNB but whatever gets you moving is the ideal song to play.

Just listening passively is often not enough (although it still has some effect on your state) it’s also best to add some physical movement. Now I am a terrible dancer, so I like to add either bouncing on a trampoline or a brisk walk outside to get the blood pumping and the peak state established quickly.

Music should not only alter your state but also make you feel good. It’s a routine thing that we all do, but often it’s the little things that we forget about when we are trying to shape our lives to experience more success.

4. Speak with inspiring individuals in your network

Another great way to keep in a peak state is to spend time with those in your network who inspire you and lift you up. I am very privileged to have lots of these types of people in my network (in fact most would fit this category…haha).

It could be an email, phone call or SMS but an interaction with someone that lifts your mood will help put you in a peak state. The key is to allocate as much time with these individuals as possible and find a way to add value back to their lives in return.

5. Look forward to an inspiring event

One way I have been using more recently, to keep myself in a peak state, is to think of an uplifting event in the future that I am looking forward too, and that inspires me. Right now, the event that is having this effect on me is the Tony Robbins event I am going to in a few months’ time.

This event makes me feel passionate, create tingles down my spine and makes me feel unstoppable; it’s where the change all started in me. What event has this effect on you? Is it a concert, travel plans, business meeting or maybe the first day of a new career?

Once you know the answer, spend more of your time thinking about this event and celebrating it. Try to think about the feeling this event will create in you and get excited about it.

6. Add Superfoods

The easiest way for me to maintain a peak state once I have created one is to add superfoods. These foods allow me to increase my energy even further and then sustain it. I can remember times when I have got into a peak state and then gone and eaten a hamburger.

After doing this, all I wanted to do was sleep and the peak state disappeared. You can never get the benefits of a peak state if you consume rubbish food. Some superfoods to consider eating are blueberries, quinoa, kale, chia, broccoli, strawberries, salmon, cranberries, etc. These are great foods that will help you get into a peak state or sustain one.

7. Go out and achieve something awesome

This last tip may seem a bit odd at first. Let me explain what I mean by achieve something awesome. When you go out and achieve something huge, the result can become a platform that can help you to stay in a peak state.

“Every time you want to elevate your state and reach your peak, all you need to do is think of that thing you have achieved that is awesome, or focus on something you are about to achieve” – Tim Denning

An example for me right now is all the personal growth I have had over the last few years through my blogging and the impact it has had. Each time I think of this achievement, I feel my state change and my mind become elevated into a world where I can see what’s actually possible with complete clarity.

Most of your world is created by you, and you can change it at any time through a mind that is already in a peak state.

How to Break the Cycles of Mediocrity and Manifest Your Greatness

There is no greatness without becoming and there is no becoming with authenticity

In just a few weeks, we will be wrapping up 2023. Can you believe it? This year has been absolutely incredible for me.

I have seen amazing doors opened, new relationships formed and I am seeing dreams realized in my life. While this seems like the hallmarks of a great year, this has also been the most challenging year of my life. With all of the change happening in my life, I have been forced out of my comfort zone and challenged to grow in every area of my life.

I can truly say that I have made the most of my moments this year and I have used everything as a catalyst for maximizing my greatest potential.

As a revolutionary leader, I have the pleasure of consulting and advising leaders around the world to fulfill purpose, realize their greatest potential and make an impact.

I want to share some insights with you that will help you to break cycles of mediocrity and manifest your greatness.

Everything legal must come through the matrix

I am sure that some of you are wondering why I am using the term matrix. However, what you have to understand is that I am trying to make a highly complex spiritual principle practical to understand.

Regardless of your spiritual beliefs, every life has an origin and I believe that origin is divine and begins with eternity. You are birthed from eternity and into time to fulfill a unique purpose and assignment in your lifetime and generation.

The matrix is simply the portal or vehicle that brings something out of the invisible realm and into tangible form. The problem with much of the teaching today is that it excludes the matrix. We are told to believe that success is instantaneous and overnight.

Nobody talks about how a dream progresses through stages beginning with visualization and ultimately culminating in manifestation. Without a matrix or portal then everything that you attempt to birth and build will be illegal.

The matrix not only makes you legal but it gives you the authority and power to function as the greatest expression of who you were created to be.

Every matrix has an incubation process

While many people admire and respect me today, I remember a time when nobody knew who I was or the significance of my message. How did I get to where I am today? I got here through an incubation process.

In other words, everything that has been destined for your life is incubating and awaiting a set time of manifestation. The problem is that most people live their entire lives idle and never initiate the incubation process.

What do I meany by that? Most people are living reckless and very few people are living intentionally. I am amazed at the number of people I have conversations with that have no vision, goals or strategies for their lives. They show great promise and they have undeniable potential.

However, without development they will die with their dreams still in them.

Everything that has been destined for your life must be incubated and converted to become realities born to time.

“Visualize this thing that you want, see it, feel it, believe in it. Make your mental blueprint and begin to build.” – Robert Collier

You must give expression to that which is not yet born to time

When you think about a matrix or a prophetic incubation process, you have to understand that potential is often unrealized and untapped. In other words, your potential is in raw form and your potential cannot serve you as long as it is untapped.

The thing that makes me valuable is that I have the ability to convert potential into power. I have done it in my own life and I have empowered leaders around the world to do the same. How do you convert potential into power?

First, it is important to note that you have to perceive potential. If you cannot perceive your potential then you can never cultivate your potential. In addition, you must take the time to cultivate your potential. We often get excited about our capabilities; however, we never expand our capacity in order to realize our greatest potential.

In other words, the strength of your potential is only discovered through your willingness to stretch. The more we are challenged the more we are empowered to expand our capacity for greatness. Most of all, you must begin to express your potential. The expression of potential is different for every person.

For example, the expression of my potential is best demonstrated through the thoughts, ideas, products, services, books, etc.

For another person the expression of potential may look like a screenplay, artwork, sports, scientific discoveries, medical breakthroughs, etc.

Regardless of the form of expression, I know that you will live empty and unfulfilled until you make the decision to express your potential. The expression of your potential gives voice to your dreams, life to your vision, significance to your moments and activates your true power.

You must manifest your greatness

As a revolutionary thinker and leader, my work has impacted people around the world. I am grateful that my life is a source of empowerment to so many people. However, before anyone could ever benefit from my life, I had to make a non-negotiable decision to become who I was born to be.

I wish I could tell you that this journey is easy and that you will get there overnight. However, in a world that celebrates us for doing we are often criticized for being. As a result, I wasted a lot of time trying to be who other people wanted me to be instead of being who I was born to be.

There is no greatness without becoming and there is no becoming with authenticity. It is through our bravery to be vulnerable that we ultimately manifest our greatness. We do not bless the world by being a duplicate. We bless the world when we honor our difference. When you honor your difference you honor your potential.

Ultimately, your difference is how you manifest your greatness.

When you present anything but your authentic self to the world, you are playing small and you are robbing the world of your significance. Manifesting your greatness requires you to master your gifts.
