Friday Fix: Episode 135
While some people say you should always give others the “benefit of the doubt,” other people say doing so means you let people take advantage of you. After all, not everyone has good intentions. There’s a surprising upside of assuming the best in others; it actually lowers your stress levels. But it takes some practice. You might find yourself jumping to conclusions that assume bad intentions automatically. You’ll have to put in some effort to start assuming the best in others. So on today’s Friday Fix, I explain why it’s healthy to assume the best in others, how to do it, and how to establish healthy boundaries.
