Description: Send us Fan MailDo you ever answer somebody before you have actually decided anything? Somebody asks, you hear your own voice saying yes, and it is out of your mouth before any part of you has checked whether you have the room for it. You are not alone, and nothing is wrong with you. In this episode, we look at what researchers found about the difference between warmth that still includes you and warmth that quietly leaves you out, and why a request made to your face is the hardest kind to think clearly inside of. Then I walk you through the tool I use now, including the four seconds that come before the words and the exact phrases that buy you time without pushing anybody away.This one is for the mother who says yes too fast and cannot figure out why.
