In today’s episode of the Moving From Fear To Trust Podcast series I’m joined by Satu Ahlman of Saga Performance. Satu works with data and behaviour using genetic testing, stress and sleep analysis to help people with behaviour modifications for high performance.

Satu highlights how our lifestyles have become more evening focused with the internet and TV. The blue light emitted from our devices interferes with melatonin production which makes us not as resilient or performing at our best. She recommends switching off at least 2 hours before bed or to wear a pair of bluelight blockers or download an App like F.lux onto your devices.

With eating, it’s important to not eat 2-3 hours before bed and instead do yoga or meditation to have the best possible rest at night.

People have the misconception that to be a high performer means you have to execute all the time. Satu advocates finding a optimal stable path and still hit your goals and targets but not neglecting your health.

Important to pace yourself and give yourself times of rest.

Heart Rate Variability HRB is one of the analysis that Satu recommends to track your recovery and readiness for performance. She recommends the Oura ring to track you HRB and sleep.

There is always resistance to change within us and the fear is the underlying issue that wants to stop us. Satu recommends having short term goals with smaller steps. To focus on one simple thing each week.

Satu’s advice on Moving From Fear To Trust:

1) Focus on recovery and resiliency.

2) Choose one thing to change for the coming week.

3) Focus on the positive. Find those success stories from the week, what you can be proud of that gives you the extra boost.

Let me know what’s your biggest insight from today’s episode and what’s that one thing you’ll change to help your performance in the coming week? Share in the comments below.

Love
