Behavioral change

The Opposite Response

Reverse the usual move when the moment arrives.

The Opposite Response

The next time the familiar situation arises, do the exact opposite of what you would normally do. Don’t plan it in advance — just notice the moment and reverse your usual move.

If you usually withdraw, stay. If you usually speak first, wait. If you usually accommodate, decline. You do not need to explain yourself. Simply do the opposite, and notice what happens next.
