#289: Are You HERE...Or Lost in Your Head?

What if the problem isn’t that you lose control of your mind, but that you believe you need to control it in the first place? Under pressure, our minds naturally race ahead, predict problems and imagine consequences. The real skill is knowing when you’ve become lost in your thinking, and how to come back HERE. In this episode, I explore the powerful distinction between HERE and THERE, and I share a recent real-world leadership example that shows how this shift can transform your response when things go wrong. You can’t control the weather in your mind, but you don’t have to live inside every storm it creates either.   Show Notes: - Get 3 Long Form Audios (3 for the price of 2) to Reset Your Clarity & Performance.
