It is so frustrating to live knowing you could do “better” when you’re not.
In this digital day and age, you constantly hear people tell you that you could be fitter, healthier, more productive, more knowledgeable, and so on.
The fitness influencer you follow sets an ever-escalating standard of physical perfection. Each post, brimming with their progress, reinforces a message of “you aren’t fit enough”.
Your life coach tells you that you aren’t fulfilling your potential. Although well-intentioned, these aspirations often float just beyond your grasp – leaving you even more unfulfilled than before.
Your friend shares the latest life hack they’ve discovered. Each one reminding you that there’s always something more you could be doing – some further optimization of your life yet to be achieved.
Every time you hear these, your brain registers current you as “not good enough” and your current life as “not fulfilling.”
You get a sense of missing out on your “best” version.
Maybe this drives you to “better” yourself. You go and take action, stick with it and really become a “better” you.
If that is the case, great! More power to you.
But unfortunately, that is rare.
Mostly, one of these happens:
Your motivation and willpower fade away, and at some point, you give up.
Now a feeling of failure creeps in and you’re stuck with an even greater sense of “not good enough.”
You realise that the advice you follow doesn’t deliver what is promised.
Now a feeling of despair creeps in – without a direction you feel lost and the ‘best’ version of yourself seems even more out of reach.
You reach the “better” version of yourself, but it didn’t last long. You couldn’t keep up with the needs of sustaining the new you amidst the chaos of life. An obvious example is the widespread difficulty in maintaining weight loss.
Now a feeling of lack creeps in and you’re alienated from your current self even more.
At the end of each of these scenarios, the sense of “not good enough” has penetrated further into your awareness.
And you’re stuck living knowing that you could be “better” yet you’re not.
This is a recipe for self-frustration.
How do I know?
Because I had always felt this way.
I have been obsessed with improving myself for as long as I can remember.
This obsession gave birth to a harsh critic in my mind – judging me 24/7 by the standards of my so-called “best” version.
Every new piece of information on “how to better myself” raised the bar even higher and fuelled my self-frustration.
The gap between “who I am” and “who I could be” grew wider and wider – and my self-frustration along with it.
I tried – and still try – to let go of my unrealistic self-expectations.
But I couldn’t let go of it all, because a portion of it is literally a matter of life and death.
That portion is the pursuit of health and fitness – my area of expertise.
This added another layer to my expectations and self-frustration.
I not only felt a sense of “who I could be” in terms of my own health and fitness, but I also experienced that same feeling in terms of my expertise.
In the end, it was about peaking my own potential – regardless of the domain.
I thought I need to know all about fitness and health to make informed decisions for myself or anybody asking for guidance.
Deep down, I was terrified of saying something wrong and causing more harm than good.
So, I was reviewing all the papers I could get my hands on in my field.
Sometimes I was spending weeks to just skim through all the papers published on a single subject.
I was just worried that I would miss some critical information.
The ironic thing is, I have a shitty memory – especially for someone who lectures and speaks publicly.
I quickly forget what I have learned and have to repeat it over and over again to avoid forgetting it.
As if that isn’t enough, I am intensely curious about all things related to life sciences.
I am painfully aware that everything in nature is interconnected in some way or another – all thanks to complex systems theory.
I tend to jump to a new subject when I see a possible connection, hoping to get a bit closer to understanding “the nature of nature”.
“Nature uses only the longest threads to weave her patterns, so that each small piece of her fabric reveals the organization of the entire tapestry.” –Richard Feynman
However, this tendency was causing me to forget what I had learned earlier as I delved into a new subject.
The collision of all these tendencies and insecurities created a lurking feeling of uncertainty in me – as if I am missing a piece of the puzzle or forgetting something.
Still, I didn’t want to get rid of that feeling completely – even though I knew it wasn’t that healthy.
I knew that feeling of uncertainty is the path to progress.
As a result, I was trapped between the fear of not knowing enough and the overwhelming responsibility to help myself and those who relied on me for guidance.
This dilemma forced me to build a framework to make sense of it all.
So, I delved deeply into the very nature of adaptation and how to maximize it.
Ultimately, all “self-betterment” boils down to the ability to adapt – whether it’s getting fitter or mentally sharper.
You must adapt to give birth to future “you(s)”.
As I dug deeper into the nature of adaptation, slowly but gradually, a framework started to emerge.
No matter where I started digging, all paths seemed to converge, pointing me towards the same conclusion.
“The answer is clear: synthesis. We are drowning in information, while starving for wisdom.” – E. O. Wilson
This venture led me to the concept of Bio-Adaptability – which became the foundation for the Bio-peak framework.
A framework that ties and unifies seemingly chaotic and disjointed information.
An unshakable one – rooted in the most absolute laws of universe and nature.
But a framework can’t help anybody if it is stuck being only theoretical.
Eventually, you should know precisely what practical steps you must take to “better” yourself.
But how do you do that amidst the plethora of today’s information pollution?
Sure, you need a personal roadmap tailored for you.
A roadmap that gets you to your destination through the most effortless and quickest route.
1. But how can you create a “perfect” personal roadmap that takes into account all your aspirations, biometrics, lifestyle, environmental circumstances, preferences and their interactions with each other?
2. How can you know precisely what skill(s) you should develop? What practice(s) you should perform? What action(s) you must take to maximise your progress without wasting time and effort?
3. How will you find and choose those action(s)? What method will you use to filter out the ones that don’t suit your lifestyle or personal preferences? How will you prioritise them and design a program that seamlessly fits into your unique lifestyle?
4. How will you ensure that this program evolves with you to ensure maximum effort-to-gain ratio with each step?
I had to build a system that can handle all this.
- A scientifically sound yet practical system built upon Bio-peak framework.
- A system that remembers everything for me – instead of my poor memory.
- A second mega brain of mine – constantly evolving and growing with every new piece of information.
Luckily, I just got the thing for it – a coaching technology called “Scientific Coaching” that I’ve been working on since 2019.
So, I combined the technology of Scientific Coaching and Bio-peak framework.
And this gave birth to Biopeak Coaching System.
A system that can create a foolproof roadmap to your specific goal – tailored for you and adapts with you.
