Description

How staying in the moment will save you online and off.


Most people live in reaction mode, constantly responding to emails, pings, and pop-ups. But every reaction costs attention and control. Just like a traveler who touches their wallet after seeing a “Beware of pickpockets” sign, we reveal too much when we react unconsciously. Unfortunately, proactivity isn’t natural. It’s a learned skill. Our brains are wired to react first, think later. But when you shift from reaction to proaction, you regain control of your choices, your time, and even your physiology. Proactive people anticipate. They ask questions. They slow down just enough to steer outcomes instead of being swept along by them. And most importanty, they regain control of their lives. Learn how in this episode.
