257: How Drama Drains, Focus Fuels, and What To Do About It

Cara Bradley believes we are so much more capable than we think. As a mental strength coach, Cara is here this week to tell us how to get done the big things we’ve always wanted to do. She also discusses her book, “On The Verge: Wake Up, Show Up, and Shine” and even teaches me (and you, dear listener!) how to stay mentally tough through a couple of popular yoga poses.

During our wide-ranging conversation, we discuss:

·         What it means to be “On The Verge” and how to use it to your advantage

·         How (and why) to stay out of the drama loop

·         Her experience mental strength coaching at Villanova during championship seasons

·         Why (and how) to tune into your sensory experience

·         How drama drains and focus fuels!

·         What the Pomodoro method is and how it can lead to greater focus, more energy, and better productivity

I also give an update on last week’s flourishing experiment and the science behind positive affirmations.
