This week is another bitesize episode with psychologist Lou Jones. We talk about the power of mulling things over, how a bit of a break gives our brain the chance to breath, how to make good use of this and avoiding taking it in the wrong direction.
We discuss how this has applied to my work in profiling and analysing people, helping me to get clearer and more accurate judgements. And how it applies to Lou’s work in sport. Lou explains that although athletes want to do an analysis immediately after an event, leaving it a) prevents the emotional response to their performance detracting from what they may learn and b) gives the brain time to process, understand and explore it. As a result, mulling it over provides the space to provide a far more powerful experience for that athlete.
We also talk about how it helps us all in everyday life. And how we need to give ourselves permission to mull things over.
