As service professionals, our work gets super-powered by the need to help others, bring happiness, solve problems, etc. The problem is: we get so latched onto these outcomes manifesting that we get crushed by things not turning out how we want. What to do? You can't control people's disappointing responses to our good service intentions. But if we let go of our need for positive outcomes, we may lose the very spark that motivates us!
Guess what...
- Letting go is an art that you simply haven't been taught properly.
- When and where we aim our "letting go energy" is everything.
- You can still double down on setting really lofty intentions for a good service outcome if you learn some tricks for adapting to the outcome.
- You can't force letting go...so stop trying.
- Letting go actually involves the most surprising and counterintuitive approach to our minds that you imagine.
- Mindfulness makes this all happen beautifully (P.S. It's easy and I end up teaching it to you on the fly in about 90 seconds).
