Takeaway: If you want clarity in reaching your goals, find coaches, social media accounts, and resources that focus on the language of solutions.
Humans love the process of elimination.
When you only have two options—this or that—knowing what ‘not’ to do is often as good as knowing the ‘correct’ course of action.
You can quickly use the process of elimination to find the solution.
But when there are many different options, knowing what ‘not’ to do doesn't get you any closer to an answer.
The process of elimination doesn't work if there are an infinite number of choices.
“You shouldn’t eat carbs.” → What should I eat?
“You shouldn’t deadlift.” → What exercises should I do?
When faced with an overwhelming number of options, focus on the language of solutions.
The language of solutions focuses on what you ‘should’ be doing, not on affirmations of what you ‘shouldn’t’ be doing.
This simple process makes the path to your goals more clear, simple, and actionable.
If you want clarity, find coaches, social media accounts, and resources that discuss what you ‘should’ do to achieve your desired outcomes.
