Our fear loop is red, our duress path is yellow, and then flow state switched on leaning in as green.

And so I've got these three colors there.

If I say to you, Mike, I want you to do this right away and you stop and you go, I wonder if that'll work out.

Tony wants me to do that right away.

While you're deliberating, you're in what I call the fear loop, meaning there's no action.

You're not doing anything.

You're in your mind right now.

The moment you start to move, but you're still wondering, is this going to work out?

I hope I prepared properly.

It's the duress path.

And so we never want to be in the red.

We always want to be in yellow or green.

Okay, welcome back or welcome to the Finding Mastery podcast.

I'm Michael Jervé, and by trade and training, I am a sport and performance psychologist.

And the whole idea behind these conversations is to learn from people who are on the path of mastery.

To better understand what they're searching for, their psychological framework, of how they understand the world and see themselves in it, how they explain events in their life.

We also want to understand the mental skills that they use to build and refine their craft.

And if you want to learn more about how you can train your mind,

just like some of the world class thinkers and doers in this podcast, as well as some of the folks I've been fortunate to work with as a professional.

This is just a quick little reminder here to check out the online course that I created with a head coach at the Seattle Sea Hawks Peak Carol.

And you can do that at finding mastery.net forward slash course.

Finding Mastery is brought to you by nets.com here at the Finding Mastery lab.
