Headspace Hub Recap: Needs vs. Wants – The Mental Edge of a Rifleman

This session explored how distinguishing between needs and wants sharpens mental clarity, decision-making, and performance—both in life and behind the rifle.

🔹 Key Takeaways:

• Precision requires clarity—wants create distractions, while needs drive success.
• Unmet needs often disguise themselves as emotional wants, leading to misdirected effort.
• Emotions can be unreliable—true mastery comes from identifying core needs over reacting to feelings.
• Better decisions come from better data—guessing emotions (ours or others’) leads to poor outcomes.
• Tactical awareness (NVC) helps communicate needs effectively and avoid unnecessary conflict.

🎯 Train your mind like you train your shot—focus on what truly matters.
