What were Sue's doubts and challenges?

Tim Ferriss discussed the importance of addressing one's mental state before moving on to problem-solving strategies. He highlights that individuals who feel depressed or anxious often jump directly to strategizing solutions without considering their emotional or mental state. This approach, Tim explains, can lead to ineffective solutions because the perception of the problem is influenced by one's current negative state.

This change can help foster a more enabling narrative, which in turn leads to more effective strategies for dealing with challenges 1.
