Do you consider yourself a person of habit, used to always doing things the same way?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the answer is yes, I have a quote for you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until you change how you get things done, you\u2019ll never know what works best.<\/p>Roy T. Bennet<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is something that took me a long time to learn: over the years, I slowly came to realize that behind my perfectionism and my willingness to do everything \"right\" there was an unconscious belief that there was only ONE \"right\" way to do each thing, and that if I wasn\u00b4t able to do it exactly that way, then I was making a mistake, I was doing it \"wrong\". Moreover, every time I tried a new activity and didn\u00b4t get it right at the first try, I automatically assumed I was always going to be bad at it, and I rarely gave it a second chance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just imagine how incredibly limiting this thought can be... When in our minds there\u00b4s only one way of getting it right among a thousand ways of screwing up, it\u00b4s no surprise that the fear of getting it wrong causes us to feel tense, or even paralyzed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what if we could turn this around? What if there were a thousand ways of getting it right, or at least, a thousand ways of gathering information to guide us towards a better result?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u00b4s where that famous quote from the inventor or the light bulb comes to mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.<\/p>Thomas A. Edison<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\"Woman<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u00b4s precisely the value of experimentation: learning from each try in order to find a better solution. Or several ones, as problems rarely have only a single solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, to be able to try other ways of doing things, first we need to be able to come up with them, and our brain gets a bit lazy when it comes to blazing new trails... It\u00b4s much better at going back to the beaten tracks, as they\u00b4re easier to traverse and require far less energy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the main benefits of coaching and self-discovery is that they help us to overcome that cognitive rigidity, that resistance we have to getting out of auto-pilot mode.<\/strong> This way, by realizing that the way we see things is just another perspective, as valid as many others, we can allow ourselves to consider other possibilities and viewpoints, and from there, expand our options range and find more adaptive solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And while we\u00b4re in the process of trying new strategies and designing solutions that work better for us, we learn to trust that others can also find their own. Because, once the \"single perfect solution\" myth has been busted, we realize there\u00b4s no point in imposing our judgement on others: we each have our own style, our own worldview and our particular set of circumstances, and something that works for one person may not necessarily work for another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So then, what can we do? Well, we can share our learnings and experiences with other people, explain what works for us, what doesn\u00b4t work, and why, compare strategies and points of view, and be open to trying new ways of obtaining what we need or want. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can even take it as an experiment: if I change this variable, what happens? What changes? Does the result improve, or get worse? All of this knowing that your own result is personal and untransferable, and that the winning formula will probably be different for each of us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, with Mr. Benet\u00b4s permission, I\u00b4m going to slightly modify his quote:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until you change how you get things done, you\u2019ll never know what works best FOR YOU.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What about you? Do you already know what works best for you? What aspects of your life would benefit from some experimentation?<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
