We often want our lives to get better, but we resist looking at what we can do differently because we're focused on what someone else needs to change. We can influence people, make requests, and offer alternatives, but we can't make other people do what we want them to do. When we keep trying to change someone else instead of looking at our own choices, we can miss the very changes that would make our lives better. It's time to stop waiting for someone else to change and start asking yourself, "What do I want to do?"

We spend a lot of time thinking about what could go wrong when we're considering a change, but what if we gave just as much attention to what could go right? In this episode, I talk about how focusing only on potential losses can keep us stuck, limit our creativity, and prevent us from seeing solutions that could make things better. I'll share why thinking about the possible gains can help us find hope, see new possibilities, and make more solid decisions. Plus, I'll give you a simple exercise to help you consider both sides and discover what might be possible when you're willing to do something differently.

"That makes sense" can be a powerful way to understand yourself and others without adding judgment, shame, or excuses to the situation. Our beliefs, reactions, and patterns make sense when we consider the experiences, influences, and adaptations that shaped us. From that place of understanding, we can ask the more useful question: Now what do I want to do? This is mind renewal, emotional intelligence, and exercising your free will in your own mind.
