MWM: Mental Vaccination

Send us Fan Mail Midweek Mini – Mental Vaccination What’s the worst that could happen? No really. Write it down. This Midweek Mini explores a concept used by high-performance athletes, military teams, and leadership groups: mental vaccination . The idea is simple. You deliberately imagine the worst-case scenarios so that if they happen, you’re already prepared. What if the market crashes? What if there’s a cyber attack? What if the plan fails? Elite teams rehearse these possibilities so they aren’t shocked when pressure arrives. But there’s a catch. For some people, this builds resilience. For others… it just creates anxiety. So the real skill is knowing when scenario planning builds confidence — and when it just becomes a list of things to worry about. And sometimes the worst-case scenario isn’t war, business collapse, or global pandemics. Sometimes it’s just dropping your headphones in a moat.
