The five-year plan, the 10-year plan, we all have that.

But what I would suggest is before even getting to that five or 10-year plan, because you're feeling so stressed and you can't even think because of your amygdala, you can't even think about next week or next month, let alone five years from now, right?

I love that framing of the question.

And when it comes to my question of what matters most to you, you know, we often have these things like the work that you're doing, thinking like, okay,

Because when you're feeling that sense of stress and burnout, your amygdala is on high alert.

From the businessman point, where do you wanna be in five years or where do you wanna be in 10 years?

It's all about immediate needs and survival.

The five-year plan, the 10-year plan, we all have that.

So think about where you wanna be in three months.

But what I would suggest is before even getting to that five or 10-year plan, because you're feeling so stressed and you can't even think because of your amygdala, you can't even think about next week or next month, let alone five years from now, right?

Or, you know, two months.

And instead of thinking to yourself, what's the matter with me?

Like, why do I feel like this?

What's the matter with me?

Think about what matters most to you and create a most goal.

So most is an acronym, M-O-S-T.

Because when you're feeling that sense of stress and burnout, your amygdala is on high alert.

M is what's a goal that you can achieve in three months that's motivating.

It's all about immediate needs and survival.

So think about where you wanna be in three months.
