Good Shift - How to keep your feet in the face of adversity - E209

What does it really mean to “keep your feet” when life tries to sweep you away? In this short Good Shift, Dr. JC Doornick explores the difference between experiencing adversity and letting it take control of your identity, direction, and response. Inspired by Bilbo Baggins’ timeless warning about stepping onto the road and not knowing where you might be swept off to, Dr. JC asks a deeper question: What if keeping your feet has less to do with controlling what happens and more to do with changing how you perceive it? Through the lens of the Interface Response System—Perceive, Pause, Process, Proceed—this episode challenges you to recognize that fear, adversity, and uncertainty don't automatically get to decide what something means. You may not control what shows up at your door, but you can learn to remain grounded long enough to decide what gets invited in. Follow Dr.
