It’s tough to be completely prepared for anything.
The only guarantee of a plan is that it won’t go as planned.
And being totally mentally prepared for something? Fat chance.
But that doesn’t mean it’s not worth doing.
Mentally preparing yourself for a conversation or a day’s list of tasks does a lot to keep the lizard brain away. It applies pre-focus, which prevents distractions from entering your line of sight.
With enough mental preparation, you understand the objective and that nothing is going to get in the way of you completing it.
In a sense, it becomes a game (even though it’s been a game from the beginning, but now you feel like you’re winning).
Stay Positive & Think About It (Then Think About It Some More)
