Internal Grammar Shapes Outcomes
- The assumptions in your internal grammar determine how you frame problems and responses.
- Future-oriented self-talk creates direction while permanent, past-focused talk locks you in place.
Use Verbs Not Labels
- Move from labels to verbs when describing problems to invite change.
- Say what you need like, "These patterns don't work for me anymore," to open the door for adjustment.
Specify Behavior Not Abstract Needs
- Avoid vague requests and define the behavior you want with measurable examples.
- Describe specific actions like texting timeframes or weekly check-ins so others can follow through.
