MWM: Mental Vaccination

Send us Fan MailMidweek Mini – Mental VaccinationWhat’s the worst that could happen?No really. Write it down.This Midweek Mini explores a concept used by high-performance athletes, military teams, and leadership groups: mental vaccination.The idea is simple.You deliberately imagine the worst-case scenarios so that if they happen, you’re already prepared.What if the market crashes?What if there’s a cyber attack?What if the plan fails?Elite teams rehearse these possibilities so they aren’t shocked when pressure arrives.But there’s a catch.For some people, this builds resilience. For others… it just creates anxiety.So the real skill is knowing when scenario planning builds confidence — and when it just becomes a list of things to worry about.And sometimes the worst-case scenario isn’t war, business collapse, or global pandemics.Sometimes it’s just dropping your headphones in a moat.
