Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- My life keeps swinging between extremes
- I’m never fully on and never fully off
- I treat rest as something I only earn after everything else is done, so it’s the first thing I cut
- I’m breathing along but I have no idea if it’s working
- I only check in on whether something’s working every few months, and by then I can barely remember what I even tried
Practices that may help
- Understand why systems oscillate — and stop overcorrecting
Delayed feedback loops and overreaction to perceived gaps cause the boom-bust cycles in your own system.
Stocks and Flows - Oscillate deliberately between full engagement and full recovery
Treat disengagement between performances as a skill to develop, not an indulgence to manage.
The Ideal Performance State, Made Practical - Treat recovery as a performance investment, not a reward for finishing
Schedule recovery as deliberately as training — stress without recovery produces breakdown, not growth.
The Ideal Performance State, Made Practical - Use HRV as real-time feedback during sessions
Watching your HRV oscillate in real time during breathing practice accelerates the learning and strengthens the training effect.
Resonance Frequency Breathing, Made Practical - Shorten your PDSA cycles until feedback is near-daily
More loops beat longer loops: compress the cycle time to accelerate learning.
Plan–Do–Study–Act: Deming’s Loop for Personal Improvement - The Ideal Performance State, Made Practical
The Ideal Performance State (IPS) is Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz’s term for the specific combination of physical, mental, and emotional activation at which a performer reliably produces peak output. The IPS is individual-specific — what energizes one performer paralyzes another — and is accessed through deliberate energy management rather than through hoping to "get in the zone." - Analyze your best days — not just your failures — to identify what drives success
When performance is above target, investigate what made it so: replicating peaks is as important as preventing troughs.
Feedback Loops and Behavior Change - Regulate the oscillation consciously
If you are spending too long in one orientation, deliberately shift to the other.
The Dual Process Model of Grief, Made Practical - BOLT score — measure your CO2 tolerance
The Body Oxygen Level Test gives you a repeatable number to track nasal breathing progress.
Nasal Breathing for Performance - Deliberately expand your inner circle
Move team members from low-LMX to high-LMX through intentional relationship investment.
Leader-Member Exchange (LMX), Made Practical
