We can all be nervous or concerned about a potential negative outcome. But we can also spend a lot more positive energy and time on potential positive outcomes.
How do you spend your time? Do you focus more on positive, pleasant, fun and successful outcomes or on negative, fear-led, dramatic and even disastrous outcomes?
If you tend to the negative, start training your brain every day to be more positive. Take 10 minutes each day and focus on coaching your brain on thinking through potential positive outcomes.

Be More Curious
It’s easy to think we know so much. Yet, we know very little. We extrapolate, generalise, use bias and guess quite a bit.
We hurry people through their speech, usually just to say our bit. We aren’t that interested in what the other person has to say. We have our view and want to express that.
Yet things can dramatically improve if we just get more curious. Listen patiently to the person speaking. Understand their current mindset. Get the context in perspective. Listen to their words and emphasis.
You will learn a lot. You will improve your understanding. Your communication will improve. And you’ll become a better person.
