Happy New Year! Find your autonomic signature for elite performance
Autonomic Diagnostics tool #1
Happy New Year!
Our Innovation Lab is starting the new year with a product test in a new product category (Autonomic Diagnostics) for the first time in several years.
We have developed our first autonomic assessment for elite performance. At this stage in development, this is a self-report questionnaire designed to evaluate the autonomic signature of your highest level of performance. It is relatively agnostic to domain– we have been testing it across applications ranging from public speaking to elite tennis performance. It is predicated on the notion that elite performance happens with a particular autonomic architecture, and that this has both general principles and individual variation.
While there has been considerable research done on the mechanics of flow, there is less understanding of how to recover flow if we deviate from it, or what the particular autonomic signatures of flow are for any individual performer.
The tool is designed to give you a sense of your optimal autonomic composition for performance in a given domain, as well as tools and tips for making adjustments if you fall out of that zone.
The process of
a) enabling autonomic awareness of our performance in realtime (e.g., what are the ingredients required for flow)
b) understanding our own autonomic signatures for performance (how does our particular physiology compose this balance)
c) having tools for re-calibrating our autonomic composition if it deviates from this signature (shifting the balance if we lose it)
provides a methodology for creating the conditions to experience more consistent flow, which opens the door to higher and more consistent levels of performance.
We would posit that flow is not something that you do, but rather something that you allow. Yet while we cannot ‘make’ ourselves perform at a high level, by understanding the autonomic components of this we can adjust both macro- and micro- neurological inputs that increase the likelihood we will find and reside in these sweetspots.
This is an alpha (first) product test, and we are early stage with the tool, so we are only making TEN of these questionnaires and reports available at this time.
Once we’ve learned from the first iteration, if it feels successful, we will refine the tool, begin to automate it, and make it available to a larger audience.
Use the button below to place your order for the alpha version. If it is out of stock, you have missed the initial window, but you can send us an email to support@restorativepractices.com with ‘Notify me when the performance assessment is available’ and we’ll add you to our beta-testing list for future versions of the assessment.
Wishing you thriving amidst all that is arising…
