INTRODUCING A NEW ATTENTION SKILL THAT KEEPS YOU COOL UNDER PRESSURE

You don’t need to get stuck in your head when it matters most

DOES YOUR ATTENTION FEEL SCATTERED RIGHT BEFORE:

Asking someone out that you're interested in dating
Walking into your boss's office to ask for a raise
Walking on stage to perform in front of an audience
Pitching a product or service to the marketplace
Messaging someone you matched with on a dating app
Breaking up with someone you're dating
Firing an employee who's been with your company for a long time
Quitting your job to pursue another opportunity
Interviewing, auditioning, performing, competing, or pitching
Putting yourself out there in any high-stakes situation

IN HIGH-STAKES SITUATIONS, IT'S NORMAL TO FEEL YOUR ATTENTION DRIFT TOWARD:

WATCHING YOURSELF

You overthink how you look and how you're coming across

EVALUATING YOURSELF

Your judge yourself and compare yourself to others

DOUBTING YOURSELF

You hesitate and second guess your abilities in the moment

THIS IS JUST YOUR ATTENTION SHIFTING INWARD

Instead of outwardly focusing and fully engaging with the situation and people in front of you, your attention naturally turns inward to monitor, over-analyze, and worry abut how you're doing in the situation

THESE INWARD SHIFTS CREATE NOISE IN YOUR HEAD

This is why it’s harder to think, speak, and act calmly under pressure; this noise hijacks your headspace and pulls your attention out of the moment

The more you focus on that noise, the more your internal alarms ring, the more your thoughts race, and the more distracted you become in the moment

CATCH > SORT > CHOOSE BRINGS YOU BACK TO THE SIGNAL IN FRONT OF YOU

When you catch your attention turning inward and sort the noise from the signal in the situation, you can choose where your attention goes next

This is a trainable mental muscle; the more you practice flexing it, the more your attention will naturally focus on the signal and tune out the noise

IMAGINE TUNING OUT THE NOISE WHEN YOU ARE:

Navigating dating apps
Pitching business ideas
Negotiating your salary
Making sales calls
Networking at events
Auditioning for roles
Meeting new people
Using social media
Arguing with people
Doing anything challenging

YOUR ATTENTION WILL AMPLIFY WHERE YOU PLACE IT
