INSIGHT

Reframing "I Love You"

  • Mel Robbins reframes "I love you" as admiration and consideration rather than endorsement of actions.
  • She uses the phrase to give listeners hope and remind them someone cares enough to offer help.
ADVICE

Control The Controllables

  • Stop trying to control other people because you can't change their beliefs or actions for them.
  • Use that freed energy to reduce stress and focus on what you can control: thoughts, actions, and emotional responses.
ADVICE

Back Off To Reduce Resistance

  • When pressure and judgment fail, stop and recognize that your approach creates resistance.
  • Back off and accept the reality, then choose a different, research-backed influence strategy.
