There's a flood of findings on how our emotions effect our perception, and how our DNA is activated or de-activated by our emotional state and triggers from the environment, coming from the world of quantum biology. Pjotr Gariaev and Vladimir Popponin's contributions to this field lead the way, but they are in no way alone. Every day I source more peer-reviewed, published articles coming from neuro-science, quantum physics, quantum biology, and psycho-neuroimmunology that all point to a major shift in the way we understand consciousness. In my latest blog, I want to explore the relationship between brain-wave state and performance.

I include four studies below that each show how our emotional state effects our performance, from the way we experience pain, to how well we can focus and complete tasks. In each of these studies it is apparent that our emotional state has an immediate impact on our brain-wave function - literally the frequency of our brain's electrical output, and this in turn affects our perception. Link this to the studies by Popponin and Gariaev and you can understand how our energy state impacts performance.

Lately I've updated my Key Principles of Energy Management to include a sixth key principle -  understanding personality - because, at the end of the day, personality colors the way our emotions show up, and are experienced by others. How we experience life is colored by our personality and our emotional state in the moment. Understanding these factors allows us to work out what we need to add to our Energy Bucket to feel happier, be healthier and maximize our potential.
