Lost and need some guidance Part 2

[chatterbug]

Here is an exercise to remove mind reading from your inability to act.

We used to do this at university all the time to stop from mind reading.

Case 1 : Wife says or does this : What I am mind reading

Your response : What you think you would do with that premise.

Outcome : What you think the logical outcome is.




Case 2 : Complete opposite of what I am mind reading.

Your response : What you think you would do with that premise.

Outcome : What you think the logical outcome is.


Case 3 : Something inbetween

Your response : What you think you would do with that premise.

Outcome : What you think the logical outcome is.

Case 4 : Never happens

Your response : What you think you would do with that premise.

Outcome : What you think the logical outcome is.



Now look over your responses and outcome.

Do you see any overlapping similarities.

Record them as Outcome 1

Do you see an differences ?

Record them as Outcome 2



Now with 2 outcomes.

Set them up as Case 1 and Case 2

Go through the process again.

At about this time.

You will think.

There really is no outcome that I can control when I am basing it around what I think this person may or may not do.

But I do know that there are only a few outcomes to this.

So I will scrap the mind reading.

And prepare based on what I can control.

Myself.

The benefit of this thought process is that if the conversation happens to flow in one of the cases written above. You have a good idea of where to lead the conversation.
