Fight, flight or freeze?

You're probably familiar with the 'fight or flight'concept, but a less familiar killer, is the 'freeze’ concept, but a less familiar killer, is the 'freeze' state. And as business owners, we're particularly vulnerable. 🦌

Because of our position within our businesses, we often become hyperaware of the challenges, and this can create a feeling of overwhelm which then leads to inactivity. 😓

Gaining perspective is a key to moving out of this state and there is no better way to get out of your own head than to talk things through with a trusted advisor. For me that's my wife (she's amazing) or my business coach. 🌈

Another tool I'd reccomend is John Whitmore's GROW model:

G-oal
R-eality
O-ptions
W-hat do I choose

What state do you find yourself in most often? Fight, flight or freeze?
