Today's episode come from this comment. 

"I talk a fair bit about false expectations appearing real and I think there is a link to a potential lack of resilience that brings those feelings to the fore. Would be good to hear your experiences with athletes and business owners who have found this a struggle and found a way to overcome challenges and adversity through becoming more resilient"

My Initial response, "I am not a huge fan of the 'FEAR' statement. When I ask people what does that actually mean to you, most have no idea. We want you to have huge expectations of yourself, I want you to aim huge... And everything is real including your feelings. It is understanding why these feelings exist, that allow you to manage them".

And now, for a greater understanding, listen to the podcast.
