Listen "đź“– Here is the wrap up for this week: How would my best self approach this situation?"

Episode Synopsis

❌ Problem: Not being intentional in this can cause you to regress farther away.

🔑 Example: You need to have a tough conversation with your spouse that you feel like you have had many times, but you don't take the time to think through how your best self would handle it. This can cause you to regress back in a negative way into a rut of how the conversation always goes and you don't end up being your best self in that conversation.

âś… Possibility: Recognizing there is power in the intentionality behind this can propel you forward faster.

🔑 Example: Realizing that there is the ability to take some time before the conversation to think through how you would like to act during the conversation, what it would look like, how you can listen, how you want your tone to come across, etc.

➡️ The Path: A simple challenge to get you to your best self faster.

🔑 Example: Block off some time early in the day to sit down and write out how your best self would approach the conversation and actually use that during the conversation. It might seem weird, but it can be powerful.

This is something that I have found to be difficult to be consistent at, but the more you try it, the more it can become second nature to think through how your best self would act in specific situations.
