Welcome to RISE27. This is not a course you watch. This is a training programme you complete. Nobody gets fit by watching exercise videos only. They get fit by training. RISE27 works the same way. Each day, you will complete one short mental training rep designed to help you: - recognise what your mind is running - understand the state it creates - reshape the simulation when needed - focus on the event in front of you - take bold proof action - build evidence that you are growing Start here: 1. Go to Classroom. 2. Open RISE27: 27-Day Mind Gym. 3. Complete Module 0 — Start Here. 4. Complete Module 1 — Pre-Training Proof Tests. 5. Begin Week 1: Recognise. 6. Post your first daily rep in Daily Training Reps. 7. Add your first piece of evidence to Proof Bank. Daily rule: One Rep. One Shift. One Proof Command: Train the simulation. Build the state. Execute proof.

The mind creates simulations of the past, present and future. These simulations shape how you feel. How you feel shapes how you behave. How you behave shapes your outcomes. RISE27 trains you to recognise the simulation, intend the better behaviour, shape the state, and execute proof in the real world.

Are you physically working 5 days a week but mentally working 6 days!? Most people look forward to the weekend and usually enjoy Saturday, however, when it comes to Sunday, especially in the afternoon, people are thinking about Monday and that they have to go back to work. Physically they are off work and have a potential 24 hours left before they need to start work again but mentally they are at work with simulations of the work environment, the emails that need sending, the difficult conversations, the meetings. The body reacts to what the mind shows and says to it so even though it’s not physically at work the body creates feelings as if they are actually there. The ‘day of rest’ is an extra work day and robbing people of time earned with family, friends, essentially time off work. If you are feeling negative or anxious on a Sunday, recognise what is going on in your mind, then when you can see or hear what the body is reacting to, you can change it. If you’re struggling to recognise the simulations creating negativity then just create new ones. Imagine it’s Saturday or that you’re on holiday for another week. Change your external environment with distraction by putting on music that you like, a film or going for a walk. Sitting in your thoughts about work and letting them take control is going to rob you of your last day off.

Sports professionals that are performing at the top of their game don’t need to consciously think about their performance or skill level when competing and this is due to hours of constant practise on the training ground. This constant training allows the skill set to sink into the unconscious (just like when driving a car). Would Messi, Nadal or Bolt also expect to break world records and become the number 1 in their sport by only training a couple of times or when they thought their performance could be improved? No, that would be crazy. This is the same for mindset training! If you want to achieve the best behaviour and mindset in any situation then you should be doing so unconsciously, not thinking about what to do next whilst in the moment. Through multiple training sessions, just like sports Pros, you can uncover and recognise what is going on in your mind, then adapt and train it all on the training ground so when it comes to game day or important meeting the skills are already in place. Set aside 15-20minutes each day for a mindset training session that will allow you to improve what is going on under the hood before the big competition.

Try this to find out 👇 Imagine a 2m plank of wood on the ground. Now imagine walking across it. Notice how you feel when you imagine this. Now take that same plank and place it between 2 skyscrapers. Imagine walking across it. When noticing how you feel, does anything change? When the plank is on the ground most people feel: - fine - neutral - capable - relaxed The Simulation running through the mind: Easy. Safe. No problem. State: Calm Behaviour: Walk across. However by placing the same plank much higher up the simulation your mind creates: - height - danger - falling - fear - risk - consequences State changes to: - fear - tension - anxiety - hesitation Behaviour changes: - freeze - avoid - move carefully - panic What this proves is that the body is not only reacting to the plank, it is reacting to the simulation around the plank. Now imagine the plank is still between the skyscrapers but someone important is on the other side and the building is burning. Again, the plank is still the same plank. But the simulation changes again. Now it includes: - urgency - love - meaning - purpose - courage - protection - importance The fear may still be there, but the meaning changes. State may shift from fear and avoidance to, fear plus courage, urgency and action. Just by changing the simulation in the mind it has changed the behaviour which leads to a change in outcome. Before the important person was on the other side of the plank and needed saving the risk was too high but by changing what crossing that plank meant it allowed a different state. What can you change in your mind that allows the meaning, behaviour and outcome to change for the positive?
