I hear Marlo in my head. You want it to be one way. It is the other way.
My emotions want rescue. Reality brings the bill. Most days that bill is exactly what I need to grow. In this episode I map a simple system I run when feelings and facts clash so I can lead on hard days without panic. I call it the Reality Stack. Five steps, fifteen minutes, real peace.
What you’ll hear:
• The rescue reflex vs the resolve choice
• How to read the system under the scene so you stop arguing with headlines
• Regulated transparency at work when the storm hits
• The Reality Stack: Feel, Fact, Frame, System, Step
• A 15-minute Reality Reboot you can run today
The Reality Stack (quick reference):
Feel: name the emotion out loud
Fact: write three things that stay true when your mood changes
Frame: what is this here to teach me
System: incentives, gatekeepers, constraint, scoreboard
Step: one move in 24 hours that respects all four
