Yeah , this is one of those situations where you and I had a discussion about the science and the practical application aligned . So my original experience with detachment was , and this is one of those moments where , you know , I said a lot of times things are just small moments over time and you make a little adjustment . This is one of those moments .
I'm I'm grateful for , um , you bringing that up is this is the , uh , the biologist in me . But , you know , what is your process for engaging detachment or for disengaging ? Is it an active process where you go ?
And so here I'm manually slowing down my breath , I'm broadening my field of view . So if you're in a meeting or you're in a , you know , you're at the , at the supermarket parking lot and someone starts to yell at you , take a step back , take a breath , broaden your field of view , detach from those emotions that you're having and make some space and that's , that's how I go through the mechanics of detachment . Now , I can tell you right now , I , I mean , when , when , when you do this all the time , which I kind of do this all the time .
I'm not being in the defensive mo I actually want to hear what you have to say . And if I start listening to what you have to say and not talking , it's very hard to be detached when you're talking . It's another key component you want to detach , shut your mouth .
This is one of those moments . I , I in my life and I wrote about leadership strategy and tactics where I recognized like in a moment what detachment was and how helpful it was . I'm on an oil rig doing a training mission .
