At some point, we will all face discomfort, be it psychological or physical, at work or in a workout. But we do often get to choose how to handle that difficulty: Can we work through it? And if so, how? Or is it a case where fighting it actually makes it worse? If we can’t work through it, can we continue to perform at a high level despite the discomfort? Today’s episode is all about giving you the most effective, time-tested tools we’ve come across to help you answer those questions. We discuss how to shift your focus by zooming in and out; the self-talk trick you can use to give yourself some psychological distance; a more effective way to label your emotions so that you can better navigate them; and the surprisingly effective acceptance mantra when every other tool fails and you’ve got not choice but to take the difficult thoughts or feelings along for the ride.
