Its foundation is physical capacity rather than mental skills. But over 25 years we found not getting proper rest or nutrition, even not drinking enough water, can greatly diminish performance. For example, low blood sugar can drain your self-confidence. Loehr sees a similar pattern with corporate clients. They fall asleep in front of the TV and wake up at 2 a.m. not able to fall back asleep.
Spiritual capacity is at the top of the performance pyramid as a source of motivation and purpose.
LGE teaches rituals to link the levels of the pyramid. Loehr said research shows our bodies and minds need recovery every 90 to 120 minutes. Taking a short break every two hours can work wonders. Use a water bottle. Get up and stretch at your desk.
