Episode #87 of The Great Man Within Podcast: A Board of Directors for Your Emotions: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-great-man-within/id1449269930?i=1000470268087

 

 

What are the situations in your life where you lose your power?

 

How about:

• Being confronted by someone with different politics than you
• Being criticized, judged or ignored
• Having your partner, spouse or family member say that thing that triggers you

 

Chances are you don’t show up at your best in those moments.

 

You may end up collapsing: disengaging, avoiding or exploding.

 

There are consequences (like exhaustion and shame) to showing up this way.

 

This is why you need to train for life’s toughest moments.

 

In today’s episode I give you 3 such training strategies:

 

1. Mindset shift: external to internal locus of control
2. The “Space Between” Visualization Technique (to anticipate future triggering situations)
3. The “Board of Directors for Your Emotions” Visualization Technique (to clean up messes after the fact)
