The Framework I Teach
1
Sense It
Notice the stress reaction and the story attached to it before reacting.
2
Own It
Name what's true without judgment, blame, or catastrophizing.
3
Shift It
Use a micro-script, a short, repeatable sentence, to pivot stress into a next step.
4
Live It
Build the habit so the shift holds up in the next high-pressure moment.
