We’ve been there - a delayed flight, missing a train, getting sick in another country, or sitting next to someone on a flight that seems to have to get up every four minutes when we’re on the aisle seat.

Traveling is destined to bring up unexpected curveballs and situations outside of our control. The only thing we can control, in these moments, is how we handle them.

So, today’s bonus elixir is especially for those moments when we’re facing one of those unwelcome, unpredictable travel curveballs. Listen before traveling, during traveling, or after traveling to equip yourself with the mindset and techniques you can use to handle anything that comes your way during your travels.

In this Bonus Elixir, I share a simple but powerful technique inspired by the How to Handle Traveling conversation.

The Elixir: Meet the Moment

This short, actionable episode invites you to practice techniques to meet the moment, and reminds you of the power within you to handle whatever comes your way when facing unexpected travel curveballs. Using the Core 4 Principles of The Improve Method™, you’ll practice:

Focusing on what’s in front of you, by playing the scene you’re in.

Choosing to affect what’s within your control, and let go of what’s not by saying yes, and.

Reframing the curveball by taking everything as a gift.

Finding joy or creating joy amidst adversity by practicing if it feels weird, do it.

This Bonus Elixir is designed to help you try the ideas in your own life, not just hear about them.
