How do you approach risk?
Your first tool for risk management is “lizard brain” threat detection.
“Is something bad about to happen? Deploy one of the ‘F’s!” (Fight, flight, freeze, fawn)
Building on that, you learned to imagine bad things that could happen, then make rules and strategies to prevent them.
This feels useful, and can identify choices and actions that don’t increase your chance of success or safety.
However, you focus much of your Intention and energy on “the bad things.”
Been in planning meetings that spiral down into catastrophizing, digging deep into the most unlikely of happenings?
It’s not helping.
Flip It
Flip your approach to risk on its head. Focus on what it takes for things to go “right.”
Ask questions about what enables useful and beneficial things to happen, rather than putting the “bad” stuff under the microscope.
Looking at what you can do to create the best chances for success empowers your thinking, rather than locking you into fear and danger.
When your brain stops playing defense, you’ll be surprised by the possibilities that you may be able have greater success than you were planning and hoping for.
You can do this. I can help.
