Shark Theory

Insulate Yourself From Negativity


Listen Later

The world may feel chaotic, but you can't let outside noise define your inner state.

Show Notes: In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor reflects on the negativity dominating the headlines and how easy it is to believe everything is falling apart. But peace and purpose come from insulating yourself—protecting your mindset from the chaos—while still staying informed and committed to making a difference in the world.

Baylor shares practical ways to insulate your life: building routines that remind you of your blessings, stepping back for quick "timeouts," and finding joy in helping others. Because true fulfillment isn't about ignoring problems—it's about protecting your peace so you can contribute where it matters most.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why being informed doesn't mean being overwhelmed

  • How to insulate yourself from negativity without ignoring reality

  • The role of small daily routines in maintaining peace and perspective

  • Why contribution is the antidote to depression and stagnation

  • How helping others helps you regain momentum in your own life

Featured Quote: "When you start helping other people, you start forgetting about your problems—and when you forget about your problems, you realize how good you have it."
