153. Can’t vs. Don’t Want To

Tell me, how often have you said something like:

• I can't handle it when my boss is so demanding
• I can't go through with that conversation
• I can't handle it when the kids are sick
• I can't imagine how I'd get through that kind of situation...

Our vocabulary is filled with "I can't..."

And what I want to explore with you on today's episode of The Transforming Anxiety Podcast is can't vs. don't want to.

Because what's often more true is:

• I don't like it when my boss is so demanding, but I can handle it
• I don't want to go through with that conversation, but I will
• I hate it when the kids are sick, but we will get through it
• I don't want to imagine that kind of situation...but if I need to figure it out, I will

There's a huge difference. One is full of limitations, inabilities, and obstacles. The other implies choice, options, and empowerment.

Join me for this discussion and consider where YOU can shut down the "I can't..." in favor of, "I don't want to..."
