Sometimes you have to feel a lesson in your body before your mind will trust it.

I needed an executive team to get comfortable delegating, so I put them in all-terrain vehicles.

Then I had the drivers put on blindfolds and rely on short instructions and micro corrections from the person beside them.

Afterward, we discussed what it feels like to lose visibility and control.

Now they have that embodied memory.

Never talk negatively about yourself, because your body doesn't know the difference.

When it comes to quieting your inner critic, I focus on a few things:

1. Pay attention to the voice and notice who it actually sounds like.
2. Counterbalance "what if it doesn't work" with "what if it does work."
3. Be mindful of your inner dialogue's diet, just like the media you consume.

The words you fill your brain with matter.

One of my best productivity tools started when I was nine days deep in a Haagen-Dazs binge.

I was in a total downward spiral: not running, not eating healthy, drinking more, having a down quarter.

It's like a light switch, either all my habits are on or all of them are off, and both can be exhausting.

So I made a list of all the things I felt I should be doing: reading, exercising, eating healthy, pushups, seeing friends. The list was huge.

I decided a good day simply meant doing three of them, marked the streak on the calendar, and aimed to create an unbreakable chain (stole that from Jerry Seinfeld).
