Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• Some days I’m unstoppable and other days I’m flat for no reason I can name, and I have no idea what was actually different
• With the person closest to me I’ve fallen into playing a role, and the most real parts of me stay tucked away
• Everyone tells me to get calm and positive before I perform, but honestly some of my best moments came when I was actually a little angry or on edge
• I’ve done a bunch of those fun online personality quizzes and the labels never quite fit or tell me anything useful
• I’ve got a list of my strengths but it reads like a flat personality quiz

5. 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."
6. Connect individual strengths to the broader virtues they serve
   Understand which of the six VIA virtues your signature strengths express, and what that reveals about your character.
