080: How to Stay in the Driver’s Seat

We all have a default mode of operating – Our general disposition.
Maybe it’s intense go-go mode, or more of a slow, steady, calm mode.
The important thing to remember is that we get to control our mode.
It’s not hardwired.
You’re in the driver seat and your hand is on the gear shifter.
Being self-led means shifting down or up for the appropriate situations.
4th gear isn’t helpful while parenting or during an argument. 1st gear isn’t helpful when it’s time to work out or close a deal.
And sometimes, the most helpful gear we can put it in is park. To reset so we we can shift up from there.
Listen to today’s episode to learn why it all starts with presence. That’s how we access the self and become aware of what gear we’re currently in and what gear will be most helpful for the existing situation.
