We have created this quick test help you to understand how your Alive, Perceived, Energy (A.P.E.®) Brain is stopping you being your best.
Answer the questions from your own point of view.
1. I reflect on my diet, exercise and sleep, and plan to make daily improvements in these areas.
2. At the end of the day, I always reflect and highlight what went well, and what I can improve tomorrow.
3. At the end of every week, I reflect on what went well, and plan how I can improve next week.
4. From time to time, I think about my future, and set long-term, medium-term and short-term goals to focus my efforts and achieve major objectives.
7. I monitor my confidence levels and successfully build up confidence in areas where it is low.
8. I recognise when my emotions are unhelpful and can successfully keep them under control.

From time to time, I think about my future, and set long-term, medium-term and short-term goals to focus my efforts and achieve major objectives.

7.
