When a comfortable groove starts to feel like stagnation, ask yourself, ‘What would your replacement do?’ Then, shake things up by acting on those fresh, bold ideas.

Why?

This question helps you detach from your emotions and biases, giving you the freedom to see the problem with fresh eyes. By imagining being replaced, you can gain new insights—what might your replacement notice that you’re missing? What questions would they ask? How would they approach it differently? This shift in perspective can lead to creative solutions and a clearer path forward.

You know it’s working when:

• Things no longer feel stagnant

• Things feel new and exciting more often

• You find you don’t need to rely on this as much anymore
