Here’s another Brain Bias that affects you, me, everyone we know, and every other person on earth: Attentional Bias.
We are all affected by what we most pay attention to and think about. Our very perception of what is real and how the world works is affected by our recurring thoughts.
If your recurring thoughts make you think you can’t perform at your best when you most need to, then I recommend that you question this default way of thinking and create a new set of recurring thoughts that will serve you better.
What you spend most of your time thinking about is up to you. Pay attention to your thoughts. Question why you have them. Make adjustments where needed.
If you feel this is impossible to do on your own (which, by the way is an example of this Brain Bias!), find a therapist, counselor, performance coach, trusted friend, mentor, or colleague to help you. Your very life may depend on it.
