IN HIGH PRESSURE SITUATIONS, YOUR ATTENTION SHIFTS INWARD

You can learn how to shift it back

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 MOVE TOWARD:

WATCHING YOURSELF

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

EVALUATING YOURSELF

You judge yourself and compare yourself to others

DOUBTING YOURSELF

You hesitate and second-guess your abilities in the moment

THIS IS YOUR ATTENTION SHIFTING INWARD

Instead of outwardly engaging in the moment, your attention gets pulled away to monitor you

WHEN YOUR ATTENTION SHIFTS INWARD, IT CREATES NOISE THAT DISTRACTS YOU

This makes it harder to think, speak, and act under pressure; you don’t feel calm, clear, and confident when your attention is constantly being pulled away

The further inward your attention goes, the louder the noise becomes, the faster your thoughts race, and the more nervous, indecisive, and lost you feel

CATCH > SORT > CHOOSE HELPS YOU POINT YOUR ATTENTION OUTWARD TOWARD THE SIGNAL

When you catch your attention turning inward and sort the signal from the noise, you can choose where your attention goes next: back outward

This is a trainable skill; the more you practice shifting your attention from inward to outward, the more your attention will sort out the noise on its own

IMAGINE LESS 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 EITHER THE SIGNAL OR THE NOISE

If you get good at redirecting it toward the signal in front of you:

You will engage at a higher level; you'll notice your attention staying present more often without as many nagging internal distractions
You will feel more relaxed; you will have a more resilient headspace that's less disrupted by internal pressure, stress, and tension
You will experience more confidence; when the noise isn't dragging you down, you'll find it easier to pursue goals, aspirations, and opportunities you used to shy away from
