You Don't Have to Fix It.
from Rethink Your Rules · host Jenny Hobbs
Send us Fan Mail “I need to fix it” is one of the most common unwritten rules that adds stress to our lives. When we or our loved ones are in a difficult situation, often the default response (particularly as high achieving, smart women) is to try to “fix” the situation. We think we need to solve it. And sometimes we ARE able to fix it. But other times we’re not. That’s when we find ourselves feeling stuck, stressed, overwhelmed. All because we are following this unwritten rule. Here’s the great news: we don’t always have to fix the situation. We do have other options. We are not stuck. Episode highlights: Why the belief “I have to fix this” can be problematic How the 3 D’s - Detect, Dig Deeper, Decide - can help you coach yourself The 3 options that are always available in a difficult situation: fix circumstances, address thoughts, accept feelings. Focus on power instead of control How to be a skeptic with your own brain: “don’t believe everything you think” You are a human being, not a human doing And so much more! _________ Need help applying this to your life?
