How to Get What You Want (and Win the War)
Summary
- How many situations come in life or in our relationships where we need to make a decision to address it?
- Decision making is exhausting.
- There’s an option: Pick No Battles.
- Picking No Battles is not the same as avoiding or being a doormat.
- Picking No Battles is deciding that something isn’t a problem (i.e. kids picking up, husband listening).
- We tend to focus on other people’s behaviours to avoid the noise in our heads (often our own inner critic).
- When we become aware of the noise in our heads (that we’re actually trying to avoid), it’s not pretty (judgements about ourselves or others).
- Focusing on other people’s behaviours is away to avoid the inner critic.
- When we can look at that noise, disentangle it we can become clearer about what we really want.
- Other people’s behaviours are there to distract us from focusing on us winning the war (living the life we want intentionally).
