Summary
Have you ever noticed how much energy you spend trying to avoid failure? Whether it's in your relationships, your career, or even your health goals, most of us are unconsciously playing to not lose instead of playing to win. The truth is, when we operate from fear and protection mode, we miss out on the extraordinary possibilities available to us. And this week, I'm examining how this cautious approach keeps us living small, unfulfilling lives. Tune in this week to discover how the difference between playing to not lose and playing to win shows up everywhere in our lives. You'll hear specific examples of what playing to win looks like versus playing to not lose, and how to override your brain's basic survival wiring that keeps you in defensive mode.
