Episode Description from the Publisher

Psychological insulation is how I protect my state of mind no matter what’s going on around me. I’m talking about creating space between what happens and how I respond, instead of just reacting in the moment. Without that space, the outside world starts controlling how I feel and how I think. I’ve seen how easy it is for external noise to pull you down, especially if you’re trying to operate at a higher level than most people. That’s why this isn’t optional if you want to stay sharp and focused. In this episode, I break down how to build that separation so you stay in control, no matter the situation. Show Notes: [04:29]#1 Insulation begins with reducing access. [10:37]#2 Insulation requires internal standards that are stronger than your external feedback. [22:55]#3 Insulation is maintained through containment, not expression.
