Episode notes
Effort Paradox: More Care Can Hurt
- Caring too much creates pressure that reduces performance and increases fear of failure.
- The phone-over-balcony example shows how attachment amplifies stress and harms results.
Avoid One-Shot Desperation
- Avoid entering high-pressure, one-shot mindsets that create desperate energy and sabotage outcomes.
- Calibrate expectations so one event or interaction isn't treated as make-or-break.
Detachment ≠ Numbing
- Not caring is not the same as numbing or apathy; detachment can be healthy but shutting down harms relationships.
- Use past hurts as lessons rather than building walls that prevent future good experiences.
