Episode 176⁠: Your Path to Health, Healing and Happiness with Dr. David Rabin

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response.” — Viktor Frankl
Between a major home renovation, tight book deadlines, and competing high-stakes priorities, my focused attention was stretched to its limit recently.
In this Q&A episode, I share the exact tactical framework I used to protect my energy, regain focus, and maintain high performance through one of my most demanding seasons.
I also share the core principles that keep home life grounded when professional stress hits an all-time high, as well as the best parenting advice I've ever heard.
Inside this episode:
• Creating Capacity Under Pressure: How to guard foundational self-care rituals, optimize focus blocks, and use No Pressure Days (NPDs) to prevent burnout.
• The Perspective Reframing Question: A simple mental filter to immediately diffuse frustration—Is it a tragedy or an inconvenience?
• What to Eliminate in High-Stress Seasons: Why cutting out alcohol, negative influences, and catastrophic thinking is non-negotiable for recovery.
• The Playbook for Family Resilience: Why play is the primary language of children, and how to treat domestic friction as feedback rather than an attack.
Onward,
James
