Optimal Performance following a Sensory Scientific approach, is based on the following:
* Performance sits at Sensory brain and not Cognitive brain level
* Sensory input impacts levels of alertness, and therefor performance, directly, constantly, and profoundly
* The senses are entry points into the brain to either activate/energize, or regulate and calm
* Awareness of our own sensory needs equips us to apply custom-fit strategies and adaptations to the environment
* Behaviour directly impacts performance, and sensory thresholds directly impact behaviour – we have to know what they are!
* We can scientifically adjust behaviour, if we understand our unique sensory thresholds
* Through sensory science, you càn craft and optimize work breaks, manage stress, activate the brain, and perform in calm-alert throughout a workday
* Try these when performance drops:
1) move
2) change your head position (look up and look down, left and right, pick up a pen from the floor, hang with you head by your knees, rest your head on your arms, etc)
3) change your body position (stand up, perform squats, or do a couple of chair stretches)
4) change your physical environment (walk to collect water, visit the rest rooms, make a turn around a garden, or alternate from sitting to standing at a vertical workspace)
These performance tips are easy to implement, practical, rooted in science, and something you can DO right then and there, at your desk, or in the meeting room.
Complete your own Sensory Workstyle Assessment Profile (SWAP) to determine if you require more activation more often, more regulation more often, which senses to calm and which senses to activate, and how to use your senses to achieve optimal performance at work. It can be done!
