What Is The ‘Return Process’?
The Return Process
What we call the Return Process is a 5 step protocol for managing your attention at different stages of your performance. The 5 steps are:
Read – Read yourself, your surrounding environment, and the people around you.
Name – Use a label to give your experience a handle.
Choose – Reconnect to your direction by aligning with your goals, role, or values.
Act – Take one small, aligned action in that direction.
Reflect – Notice what changed, reinforce what worked, learn, and repeat.
Learning to manage your attention is the key to self-regulating through the ups and downs of pursuing your goals.
