Social rejection registers in the brain much as physical pain does. This episode covers three ways to stop caring what others think. See where you stand: https://www.masteryinsights.com/start-here/

What is locus of control?

What a person does follows from where they perceive their power to be. Locus of control is your perception of where you have your most power. A person with an external locus treats circumstances as beyond their influence: "Life happens to me." A person with an internal locus holds that they shape outcomes: "I am master of my own destiny." The three ways are to redirect your locus of control, reevaluate your relationship with fear, and reinstate your authentic self.

Key Concepts

Locus of control: where a person perceives their greatest authority to direct change.

Social pain: the brain registers rejection in the same or very similar areas as physical pain, accounting for why overconcern with others' opinions develops.

Self-governance: the ability to understand, with genuine reflective awareness, what one is feeling, why, and how to overcome it, for a very composed and very balanced state of mind.

Authentic self: a balanced mind and perspective grounded in being neutral and objective and living by one's highest values, distinct from the self present in a moment of fear.

Whose opinion carries the most weight in your professional life right now, and what do you perceive that person has that you do not?
