- When regulated, this makes you perceptive and hard to fool.
- When overwhelmed, it can become the blind spot: Not every uncertain moment needs to be managed. Some need to be witnessed before they are solved.
- Your best reset is not always more thinking; it is choosing the environment that lets your nervous system tell the truth.
