The Importance of Theater of the Mind

Theater of the mind is a way to change someone else's behavior by changing our own. Imagine you're in a theater for an amazing production and then this little production starts up again with your spouse not looking too happy. You watch them have their usual interaction and see how it's going off the rails. This time when she comes towards you smile, raise your eyebrows instead of turning away and being a dick. They're doing the psychodrama entirely in your head,. And when you see the loop between them change and it's the way you want it to be, keep going.
