3 ways smart people stay stuck in failing patterns | Anne-Laure Le Cunff (Level 1)

Cognitive scripts are like invisible rules. They tell us how to act in different situations. For example, when you go to a doctor, you know you must wait for your name. This is helpful for simple, daily tasks. However, these scripts can be bad for big life choices. There are three main scripts that limit us. First is the "Sequel Script." This makes you keep doing the same things you did in the past. Second is the "Crowdpleaser Script." This makes you do what other people want, not what you want. Third is the "Epic Script." This makes you feel you must be very famous or successful to be happy. To change your life, listen to your words. Do you often say, "I should do this"? Try saying, "I might do this" instead. This small change helps you stop following old rules. It helps you decide what you really want to do.
