It's The Bearded Man 69. Be Ready to Pivot : The Plan Will Be Disrupted
Are you the type of person that gets frustrated / worked up when things don’t go according to plan? Do you find yourself getting angry, stressed or anxious when you have to make changes? Our plans WILL be disrupted at some point in time, It’s part of life and we have two options when this happens : 1 - Allow it to get to us or 2 - Adjust on the fly & keep it moving.
Today I want to talk about HOW we can start to train our minds to always be ready to pivot!
Topics :
- Recently have a podcast guest cancel 2 hours in advance of scheduled time
-
- Old me : Would take it personal, get worked up & not make sure of the extra time
- New me : Assesses the situation, weighed my options & pivoted accordingly
- Three Key Ingredients to a Pivot Mindset
-
- (1) We Can Only Control HOW We React To Situations : Instead of reacting to a situation… assess, weigh our options & then respond by making a thoughtful decision
- (2) Don’t Tell Yourself a Bad Story : We love to put ourselves down by making up stories about why something didn’t go accordingly to plan SO instead tell yourself a good story and how the unexpected situation is now going to benefit you!
- (3) Prepare Plan B Ahead Of Time : It can never hurt to be prepared for the pivot so think about what that plan B might look like so you can adjust without missing a beat
- Challenge for the listeners
-
- Next time you have to make a pivot in your life… don’t let your emotions get to you
- Respond instead of reacting, it’s the only option you’ve got!
