We all have unwritten rules about how the world is supposed to work. But what happens when someone breaks one?
A strange elevator experience on a recent Mediterranean cruise left me surprisingly irritated. But when I stepped back and got curious about my reaction, I realized the problem might not have been the other people. It might have been the rule I assumed everyone should be following.
In this episode, I explore how noticing our assumptions and questioning the rules we've created can change our experience.
The next time something annoys you, try asking: Why is this bothering me? And what am I assuming should be happening instead?
