What is the core idea behind Peak State Anchoring?

Practice question from Advanced B1S8 — bank. The correct answer is highlighted below with a full explanation.

Options

  1. A

    Memorising a list of confidence-building affirmations before meetings

  2. Creating a physical trigger that reliably returns you to your best internal state

    Correct answer

  3. C

    Practising product pitches until they feel automatic

  4. D

    Asking a mentor to accompany you to difficult client meetings

Why this is the answer

Peak State Anchoring works by linking a specific physical gesture or action to a high-confidence internal state. Once the anchor is set, firing the trigger recreates that state on demand — before a meeting, before a difficult call, or whenever needed.
