045: What to Do When You're Caught Off Guard


Listen Later

What do you do with a comment that catches you off guard? One that really throws you for a loop? Some of us might lash out. Say something we later regret. Or we might freeze and wish we said something after the fact. But there's a third option that allows us to respond from a place of calm wisdom.

There are 2 things we can do to make sure we're caught off guard less often so we can act in a measured way more often:
1. Don't expect a perfect scenario
2. Learn to only care about the important things.

I cover both of these in detail in today's episode. You'll gain access to the part of you that doesn't get triggered easily. Who can roll with the punches without getting walked on. Tune in to respond better to your kids, your coworkers, and your wife when something unexpected gets thrown your way.

If this episode helped you think differently, share it with another guy who’d benefit from the conversation.
