Capacity and Impulse Responses

Our Capacity influences the way we respond to impulses

Most people will have experienced this: We respond to the same impulse differently over time, like being cut off in traffic, a child spilling their orange juice, or receiving a frustrating email.

Why do we sometimes respond in a snappy, short-fused way, and sometimes empathetically, or even in a humorous way?

Our response to impulses is influenced by our capacity.


The power of capacity in shaping our lives

Our ability to manage impulses plays a crucial role in how we navigate life—whether it’s handling setbacks, interacting with others, or setting priorities. These responses, in turn, have a profound effect on our relationships, health, wealth, and overall happiness.

Capacity significantly impacts our relationships by shaping how we respond to others in both everyday and challenging situations. When our capacity is high, we’re more likely to approach interactions with patience, understanding, and empathy, leading to stronger, more positive connections. Conversely, when our capacity is low, we might react impulsively, with frustration or irritability, which can strain relationships. By nurturing our capacity, we enhance our ability to communicate effectively, resolve conflicts, and build deeper, more resilient relationships.

Capacity directly impacts work performance by determining how well we manage tasks, stress, and challenges. When our capacity is high, we’re able to stay focused, organised, and productive, effectively handling workloads and meeting deadlines. We approach problems with a clear mind, enabling creative solutions and high-quality results. Conversely, when capacity is low, we may struggle with concentration, experience burnout, or become overwhelmed, leading to decreased efficiency and performance. By enhancing our capacity, we can sustain peak performance and consistently deliver our best work.

Life is full of challenges. People with higher levels of capacity tend to react to challenges differently to people with low capacity levels. When faced with a challenge, people with low levels of capacity tend to perceive challenges a threats, and intuitively try to retreat, showing negative attitude towards change. People with high capacity are much better equipped to dealing with challenges. They don’t only bounce back faster, but they also tend to recognise opportunity from challenges, and, as a result, tend to embrace change.

Capacity plays a crucial role in decision-making by influencing our ability to think clearly and prioritise effectively. When our capacity is high, we’re more likely to approach decisions with a calm, focused mindset, allowing us to weigh options carefully and choose the best course of action. On the other hand, low capacity can lead to impulsive, short-sighted decisions driven by stress or overwhelm. By maintaining and building our capacity, we improve our ability to make thoughtful, well-informed decisions that align with our long-term goals.

Capacity profoundly influences an individual’s health and wellbeing. When capacity is high, individuals are better equipped to manage stress, maintain physical and mental health, and engage in activities that promote overall wellness. This resilience reduces the likelihood of burnout and fosters a sustainable balance between personal and professional life. Conversely, low capacity can lead to increased stress, susceptibility to illness, and a diminished sense of wellbeing, creating a cycle of negative outcomes. By enhancing capacity, individuals can achieve optimal health and wellbeing, ensuring they are not only surviving but thriving in all areas of life

Drivers of Capacity

Capacity is shaped by several key drivers that influence how we manage stress, respond to challenges, and maintain balance in our lives, we call them Pillars. Covering all areas including our physical well-being, mental resilience, emotional stability, and the quality of our relationships. Additionally, factors like sleep, nutrition, exercise, and approach to work and wealth all play crucial roles in sustaining high capacity. By understanding and optimising these pillars, we can enhance our ability to perform at our best, make sound decisions, and build stronger connections both personally and professionally.
