Decisions on Life's Racetrack: Balancing Practice, Reflection, and Celebrating Wins
In this episode we draw parallels between life choices and decisions made on a racing simulator or a racetrack. An emphasis on the importance of practice and reflection in both scenarios. I reflect on how different individuals have varying approaches on the simulator, which can correlate with their decision-making styles in life.
She introduces the concept of two extremes - those who "send it" by making fast and impulsive decisions without considering the consequences, and those who are overly cautious and slow, often paralyzed by fear. Finding a balance, where you aim to stay in the middle by learning to add in caution, but making decisions to move forward.
We review the significance of reflecting on one's choices, learning from mistakes, and making incremental improvements. Try to observe your behavior without judgment, celebrate wins, and focus on making one small improvement at a time. A practice of celebrating wins and acknowledging progress helps to build positive neural pathways in the brain.
I share personal experiences of applying lessons from racing to real-life situations, such as the importance of not dwelling on mistakes and quickly moving on to the next positive choice. Celebrate your wins and not be too harsh on yourself for making mistakes, there is power in positive reinforcement in shaping behavior.
