Bulletproof Cyber

Resetting Expectations for a Bulletproof Mindset


Listen Later

In this episode of Bulletproof Cyber, Dr. Eric Cole emphasizes the power of resetting expectations, particularly in the way we view daily challenges. He starts with a simple yet profound question: "How are you feeling right now?" This question, often asked without thought, becomes a gateway to deeper self-reflection when answered honestly. Dr. Cole highlights the importance of changing the language we use about our experiences. Rather than labeling difficult moments as "painful," reframing them as "different" or "interesting" can shift our perception and help us embrace change with less resistance. He illustrates this through stories, such as how executives on an African safari faced a breakdown and remained calm in the face of potential danger. By adopting a mindset that sees challenges as opportunities for growth, we can build resilience and ultimately create "good" days more consistently. Dr. Cole's approach involves redefining what a "good day" looks like, setting realistic and attainable goals to prevent frustration, and understanding that progress comes from consistent effort and thoughtful reflection. This episode provides invaluable insight into how adjusting our mindset can help us navigate both professional and personal hurdles with greater clarity and confidence.


Tune in to discover how small steps toward self-reflection can lead to a stronger, more resilient mindset.
