#108 - Quick Tips #15: You Always Get to Change Your Mind
Manage episode 273917814 series 2102331
We’ve all been there: you’ve said “yes” to something, and then later changed your mind or realized that it’s not a fit for you. So what do you do? Are you obligated to follow through with your initial answer, or are you allowed to change your mind? (If you’ve read the title of the episode, you already know the answer!) Let’s talk about how to handle this situation, and how to navigate it gracefully.
Biggest Takeaways From Episode #108:
- While this episode was inspired by a question about wedding invitations, the answer applies to all sorts of topics. You might experience this desire to shift from a “yes” to a “no” after saying you would help someone with something, or go to dinner, an event, or someone’s house, for example.
- You always get to change your mind. However, there may be consequences. People will have their feelings about your choice to change your mind or not follow through.
- Would you rather feel briefly uncomfortable by changing your “yes” to a “no,” or would you rather spend time following through with something that you don't want to do and then feel resentful?
- Often, a huge amount of relief follows changing your answer to “no.”
