Becoming a Better Learner by Overcoming Anxiety part 9

If we only have one perspective, one point of view on something we are living under severe limits. As we expand our perspectives, our capacity to learn and to succeed dramatically increases. How do we do that? Join us. 

How we see ourselves can affect how we handle difficulty before we even realize it. This micro episode looks at the difference between meeting challenges with a sense of capability and expecting things to go wrong. Sometimes the obstacle is not a lack of ability, but the filter we are looking through.

Our circumstances matter, but they don’t tell the whole story. This clip explores how people can respond very differently to what they’ve been given—and why that response can shape fulfillment, resilience, and direction. It’s a reflection on making the most of what’s actually in front of us.

How do we make peace with uncertainty? We are ongoingly living in a world of uncertainty, of not knowing. How do we deal with the gap between where you are today and where you're trying to go, between what you want and whether you'll get it, between who you are now and who you're trying to become. 

Our bodies are constantly signaling us and letting us know how we are doing. How do we tune into those signals and how do we use them to become our best. Particularly how do we deal with the anxiety signals that we're getting. 

Here we explore how to learn to be a better leader by overcoming anxiety. How do we deal with the constant scrutiny and decision making? We are called to be leaders in so many areas of our life. How do we do it the best possible. 

Let's talk about the perfectionism trap. So many of us want to get things just right and of course that is extremely challenging. Let's talk about how we make this right.

So often our anxiety particularly gets turned up when we're in an exam room or a work meeting or when we have to present. What drives this and how do we overcome that?

Anxiety is often built around the question, what if? And that what if can turn into a loop that dials up the anxiety. How do we change this?

Athletes who miss a shot are trained to replay it in their mind until they can see themselves making it, because the brain barely distinguishes between an outcome it vividly imagines and one it actually lives. This micro episode takes that tool out of the gym and helps you use it in rest of your life. If you get to write the ending yourself, why would you ever let yourself lose?
