It’s time to stop guaranteeing your own failure just to avoid the feeling of potential failure. Tune in to learn the psychology behind pre-emptive quitting, the hidden soul tax of playing it safe, and the exact 4-step framework so you can finally go ALL IN on your life.
In this episode, we cover:
•The psychology of “pre-empting” and why we reject ourselves before anyone else can
•How we make the fear of disappointment worse by globalizing and personalizing our setbacks
•The real reason the current state of the world is making your anticipatory anxiety spike
•Why playing it safe actually increases your anxiety over time
•A 4-step framework to move through the fear, regulate your nervous system, and take messy action
