I recently had the opportunity to talk about my book Don’t Take the Bait™ on NBC. The concept is simple but powerful:
Every day, life throws us bait — situations, comments, frustrations, and triggers that invite us to react emotionally.
The question is…
🎣 Did you take the bait today?
Maybe it was:• A frustrating email• Someone’s tone• Traffic• A comment that rubbed you the wrong way
The moment between the trigger and the reaction is where your power lives.
Your challenge today:
👉 Think about one moment recently where you almost reacted emotionally.
Ask yourself:
- What was the bait?
- What emotion did it trigger?
- What would a renewed mind response look like?
Drop your answer in the comments 👇Let’s grow together by becoming more aware of the bait around us.
Remember:Awareness is the first step to rewiring your response.
