You're worried about AI, sit down, say, okay, what is the threshold for action for me?

What needs to happen for me to start truly looking for another job?

When can I actually update my LinkedIn, uh,

or my resume right now so that I can be more attractive to recruiters if they're looking for me?

Who can I speak to to try and figure out that if something happens to my job, where's the next place for me to pivot?

What kind of work experience and skillsets do I need to cultivate to make me a better candidate to maybe switch careers or to do a slight sideways pivot so that I can then land somewhere successfully if that happens?

The minute you start to problem solve, the minute you start to make plans,

The minute you start to actually think ahead, then you can let the worry go for now, because you've actually taken care of it.

You figured out a plan B, you figured out a plan C. It's not gonna happen in an evening, but if that's the project, then you're like, okay, these things might happen, but if they do,

I know when I'm going to act.

And if I see this, I know I'm going to, that's the trigger that's going to make me actually start reaching out to people.

Let me schedule some lunches with other people who have been in my shoes and who have had to find alternatives and see what they were doing.

The minute you start actually taking care of it, you don't need to worry that evening.

You can actually have the evening.

It absolutely does.

And this is what I mean by we need to take control.

Because again, your impulse will be like, I'm worried it's going to make you feel helpless.

It's going to make you feel powerless.

It's going to make you feel helpless.

And then the best places to do those things are on the couch when you're just looking at screens to pass the time or eating or doing things to kind of numb yourself.
