Something’s looming. Maybe it’s a conversation you’ve been putting off, a decision that won’t settle, or something on the horizon that’s making your stomach tighten. In this She Short, Rachel Russell of Quiet Frankly Coaching offers a reframe you can reach for in exactly those moments. It’s fast, it’s practical, and it works by redirecting the question we almost always default to — what’s the worst that can happen? — and replacing it with one that primes us to look for something entirely different.

In This Short
Rachel shares:

•       A reframe for those moments when something feels apprehensive or a decision feels stuck

•       Why asking what’s the worst that can happen? sends our mind searching for exactly that — and how to redirect it

•       How one question — what is the best that could happen? — automatically primes us to look for and find possibility

Quotable Moment

“If we ask what’s the best thing that could happen, we’re automatically priming ourselves to look for and find the best things that could happen.” — Rachel Russell

Something to Try

Think of something that’s been sitting with you — a decision, an upcoming event, a conversation you’ve been turning over. Before your mind goes to the worst-case scenario, pause and ask: what is the best that could happen here? Let yourself sit with the answer. You might be surprised by what your mind finds when you point it in a different direction.
