Episode notes
Practice Bravery In Low Risk Moments
- Do rehearse desired behaviors in low-risk moments like brushing your teeth or texting to build habit strength.
- Tom Henschel instructs Chin Sun to ask, "What would be different if I were a little braver right now?" during routine tasks to practice bravery before high-risk meetings.
