HHands up if you’re a chronic rule follower! (Same, girl. Same) How ‘bout rule breaker? (Ooooo, you rebel, you!) It’s likely that wherever you fall on the rule breaking spectrum, constantly breaking or never breaking rules doesn’t always serve you.
For example, Mr. Smith used to looooove to break the rules of the road. Drive in the carpool lane. Park in the red zone. You name it. But, he paid for it dearly. Financially and maritally. He has a natural inclination to break the rules. I, however, am on the opposite ends of the spectrum. I am overly punctilious and have found that NOT breaking the rules has cost me dearly in the past.
So, how do we know when we need to break the rules and when we need to fall in line? Is there a set guideline? And, what if the rules are imposed on us by religion, society, or government? And, how does that differ from our self-imposed rules? Like, I-can’t-have-anyone-over-to-my-house-unless-it’s-spotless kind of rules?
In this episode, I explore what it looks like to break the rules consciously versus unconsciously, how to acknowledge the healthiest choice for yourself in each situation, and how to examine if you concur with the origin of the rule. Get ready to push some limits. Or not.
This pod explores:
- My favorite tool to help you make a powerful decision, even if others don’t agree
- The major way you may be making excuses, breaking rules, and harming yourself in the process
- How to know when rule-following or rule-breaking is causing you more grief than happiness
- Examining the long-term effects of following rules or breaking rules
