And what matters most isn't avoiding the lows. It's knowing how to rebuild yourself in a way that actually lasts.""Your brain will believe the story you tell it. So, interrupt that story.""This builds trust in yourself, and trust is confidence.""Growth doesn't come from cruising. It comes from the messy and uncomfortable parts of the game."Timeline:0:00 - 0:30 → Welcome & Topic Introduction00:30 - 1:15 → Normalizing the Dip and Identifying Causes1:15 - 2:30 → Strategy #1: Focus on Process and #2: Mental Routine2:30 - 3:00 → Strategy #3: Interrupting Negativity and #4: Building Trust Off-Field3:00 - 3:30 → Strategy #5: Environment and #6: Permission to Grow3:30 - 3:45 → Conclusion and Call to ActionLink to Website: https://tierneyhocquard.wixsite.com/my-site
