What To Do When You’re Stuck In The Survival Zone tl;dr: The survival zone is when your energy is high, but negative at work. People in this zone are anxious, impatient and self-critical. Tony shares 6 observations to avoid falling here: (1) Become a sprinter, not a marathoner. (2) Substitute self-observation for judgment. (3) When you feel bad, remember that’s not the whole story. (4) Create a safe space for yourself within yourself. (5) Take up something you enjoy doing just for its own sake.(6) Make someone else’s life better.
