Studies using brain imaging such as functional MRI suggest that our minds spend approximately 50% in time travel to the future.
If we spend up to 50% of our waking hours projecting the future (especially in light of politics, climate change, polarizing values, rising costs of shelter and food, ever-present loss, wars and rumors of wars etc) the dread and negative bias or conscious worry and stress will influence the health of our body, mind and brain (which will directly influence our leadership capacity).
Perhaps we might eek out a bit of wisdom from Charlie Brown's philosophy about our chosen thoughts for 'one day at a time'.
What we think about grows.
Thoughts that we nurture wire together to create default highways of thinking, being and behaving - all of which directly impacts our desired leadership outcomes.
Notice. Name. Choose.
Lead yourself well.
