LIP #220
Jan 23, 2025
There's a big difference between performing for others and actually being yourself.
Z00 State = Zero hesitation + Zero calculation
- Being fully present and in the zone
- Not second-guessing every move
- Think of it as your "flow state"
The Authenticity Scale:
- One end: Performance mode (doing what you think you should do)
- Other end: Authenticity (being genuinely yourself)
- Goal: Move as far toward authenticity as possible
Watch out for LHF - Lying, Hiding, Faking:
- People around you can sense when you're not being real
- It creates discomfort and even hostility
- Being an open book creates psychological safety for everyone
