How to Stay Positive in a World Full of Negativity | Walking the Gauntlet

Every day, you walk through a mental gauntlet of negativity. Social media. News. Group chats. Fear. Doubt. Drama.

In this episode of Living in the Zone, mental performance coach Jim Fannin tackles one of the biggest challenges of modern life: How to stay focused, optimistic, and in control when negativity is everywhere.

🧠 Learn how to walk through the gauntlet without absorbing it, how to influence those around you with positivity, and how the S.C.O.R.E.® System gives you the tools to create peace in the chaos.

🔥 In the Zone This Week:

• Baker Mayfield – Game-winning drive. Calm, collected, and fully in command. Didn’t flinch through the noise.

• Daniel Jones – Reinventing his game and showing mental toughness and growth after early setbacks.

• Barbara Israel (ZoneCoach® Client) – Won her senior club championship at 79 years old. A masterclass in mindset, preparation, and belief.

🧊 Not in the Zone:

• The Chicago Bears – Let’s be honest... does anyone know what’s going on? No direction. No clarity. No leadership rhythm. Relevance seems like a distant goal.
