Consider the “Instead “s
September 4, 2021

Small choices make for a big change. Seth Godin calls these choices the “Instead “s that we all get to exercise. They are the alternatives to our default behavior.
- Instead of taking a nap, go for a walk.
- Instead of reacting, take a pause.
- Instead of thinking you don’t have enough, think of what you can be grateful for.
- Instead of looking for what is wrong, look for what you can appreciate.
- Instead of worrying about how far you have to go, appreciate how far you have come.
- Instead of focussing on the differences, consider what is common.
- Instead of taking the elevator, take the stairs.
- Instead of shooting off an angry mail, pick up the phone and call.
- Instead of getting sucked into watching the next episode, read a book.
- Instead of spending for yourself, consider donating to a cause.
