Use this tip before your next High-Stakes Meeting or Critical Conversation

We cannot feel fear and gratitude at the same time. ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ Hi {NAME}, A few weeks ago [I shared this one simple tactic](. It clearly resonated. Physiologically, if we can't feel fear and gratitude at the same time, then gratitude is a strategy for manufacturing bravery. Fear lives in the future and it lives in the past. Gratitude forces us to be present and be where our feet are. This can instantly adjust our operating system and we're now leading with an open, strategic mindset versus fear at the wheel. Now, here's the tip. Do this right before you enter into a high-stakes situation or a critical conversation: Send a mentor, a friend or family member a text and tell them why you're grateful for them. Simple. (It must be genuine, btw, your nervous system will know!) This will change your state and provide an instant boost of confidence. You are now operating from a confident and open-minded state, which is a strategic advantage that also lends more win-win outcomes. Imagine the "always on" version of this. When we practice active gratitude, we're positioned for a more positive outcome, regardless of the situation. Enjoy more of these tactics from one of the 300+ [Why Not Now? podcast episodes]( Let's go (with gratitude), Ajo [Instagram]( [iTunesPodcasts]( [Linkedin]( Sent to: {EMAIL} [Unsubscribe]( Renegade Global, Inc., Austin, Austin, TX 78739, United States
