S1:E35 UNSTUCK:Above the Line

Imagine a line running horizontally right in front of you. Everything in your life falls either above it or below it.Above the line is ownership, accountability, and responsibility. Below the line is blame, excuses, and denial. Above the line you are open and curious. Below the line you are closed and defensive. Above the line we see solutions. Below the line we see a lot of problems.In this episode I walk you through this simple but powerful framework and show you why the goal is never perfection — it is awareness. Where are you right now? Above or below? That is not a judgment. It is just a location. And once you know your location, there is one more question that can shift everything.If you COULD... how would you do it?That single question moves your brain from stuck to creative, from closed to open, from below the line to above it.What we cover:The full above the line, below the line framework and what lives on each sideWhy most of us default below the line without even realizing itWhy awareness, not perfection, is the actual goalThe one question that shifts you from stuck to creativeHow to use this tool in real time, in any hard momentYour tiny step from this episode:The next time you catch yourself below the line, ask the question.
