Are your emotions making decisions for you without you even realising it?
Fear is contagious. So is courage. What happens when the information you consume, the people around you and your own emotional state start influencing the choices you make?
In this episode of Live-Love-Learn, I explore something I've been working on in my own life and with my behavioural coaching clients: the difference between understanding our patterns and actually changing our behaviour.
Inspired by conversations with Michael Yon and Kevin Trudeau, we'll explore how fear, stress, habitual thinking and outside influences can shape the way we interpret events, ask questions and make decisions.
And yes, this includes those of us wearing our metaphorical tin foil hats! Questioning the mainstream doesn't automatically mean we're questioning our own thinking.
I'll also share two practical frameworks:
FROM AUTOMATIC REACTION TO CONSCIOUS ACTION
NOTICE → RESET → QUESTION → CHOOSE → ACT
HOW YOUR LIFE GETS SHAPED
Influence affects your state → Your state influences your interpretation → Your interpretation affects your choices → Your repeated choices shape your life.
In this episode, we explore:
✔️ How fear and courage can influence the people around us.
✔️ Why your mental and emotional state matters when making decisions.
✔️ Three everyday states to recognise: reactive, calm and alert, and deeply relaxed or reflective.
✔️ How to interrupt automatic reactions and ask better questions.
✔️ Why being busy, researching and preparing isn't always the same as making progress.
✔️ How small, repeated choices can change the direction of your life.
YOUR 24-HOUR CHALLENGE
Before your next important decision, ask yourself:
How am I feeling? Is this state helping me? What am I assuming? What do I actually want? What's one useful action I can take?
Awareness without action changes very little.
