How to Control Ego

from Live Your Own Fit | LYF Performance · host Pete Jacobs

This episode is with me, Pete Jacobs Ironman World Champion, and I am giving insight into my routine of mindset practice, and how to control ego, so you can achieve your best, just like it worked for me. Hawaii Ironman Triathlon is a tough race for anyone, but training for it is even tougher, especially when you know you have fatigue issues and can easily over-train. My experience with fatigue was actually what helped me learn about ego, and therefore helped my win in Kona, Hawaii. My three key points for how to control ego are; 1.Be present. A quiet present mind cancels out your ego. You can’t have fears, doubts, worry, anger, etc. if your mind is in the present moment. Use a trigger word, a thought of gratitude, or just a blank quiet mind to control ego. Ego exclusively exists in thoughts of past or future. 2. Turn Your Weakness into Your Strength I embraced the fact that I could not train as much as my competitors, and by accepting my weakness I could follow my instincts, and become the best I could be. 3. Do three things each day that are working towards your goal. Monday was always my rest day, but I made sure I focused on three things that day that would help my mind and body be in better shape on race day.

The move towards more renewables in our energy systems complicates matters even further, requiring the development of an integrated power grid and continuous and steady transformation of the UK power system. Network flows must be managed reliably under uncertain demands, uncertain supply, emerging network technologies and possible failures and, further, prices in related markets can be highly volatile. Mathematicians working with engineers and economists, can make significant contributions to address such issues, by helping to develop fit-for-purpose models for next generation energy systems. These interdisciplinary approaches are looking to address a range of associated problems, including modelling, prediction, simulation, control, market and mechanism design and optimisation.
