Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

  • Everything’s screaming for my attention at once and the sheer pile of it has me frozen
  • There’s a stressful thing coming up in a few minutes and I can already feel myself winding tight
  • I only ever try to learn how to calm myself down once I’m already in full panic, and of course nothing sticks in that state
  • However I wake up is how my whole day goes
  • Right in the thick of a stressful moment my mind goes tunnel-vision and I react on pure impulse before I’ve thought anything through

Practices that may help

  1. Tony Robbins’ Core Practices
    Tony Robbins’ method centers on deliberately managing your internal state — through priming, physiology, language, and focus — so that better decisions and actions follow. The practices range from well-supported (gratitude, slow breathing, mental rehearsal) to mechanistically plausible but thinly studied (incantations).
  2. Returning to essentials when overwhelmed
    When complexity or pressure spikes, ask what the one or two things that genuinely matter are — and do only those.
