The cricket test: How two bad moments don't define your season


Listen Later

Are you letting a temporary setback define your whole journey?

Today, our host experiences a moment of classic parental reflection while watching his son struggle with a cricket "slump." The boy felt he hadn't "got going" after two dismissals.

This mirrors the challenge we face daily: our minds are wired to focus on the bad moments - the ephemeral failures, the negative feedback - and give them disproportionate precedence.

This episode is a call to action: Don't let two bad moments muddy the good. We explore how to actively ameliorate negative self-talk, use a simple calculus to weigh the good against the bad, and make a deliberate shift in perspective to climb out of any slump, whether you're on the sports field or in the office.
