I’m so excited to be back with you guys today; I am going rogue with today’s episode. I had a wonderful time these last three weeks on the book tour with Diane, and I’ve learned the power of just kind of going with the flow, and not everything has to be the perfect setup. So I’m talking to you guys from my back patio here in not so sunny San Antonio because it’s raining right now. Which is nice; I love the rain. So I figured it would be a great spot to talk about what we are going to talk about today.<br> <br> So this thought occurred to me, really last night. I’m recording this episode a day after when I would have wanted to, but I promised my friends, namely Diane Sanfilippo and Juli Bauer that I would take a full day off. We were joking that; not so joking. They really both of them sat down and had heart to hearts with me and told me; they said, “Cassy, I know you don’t take time off, but you must. You must take at least one day off.” {laughs} <br> <br> Diane and I joke that we’re the kind of people that are either completely on or completely off, it’s hard for me to just be moderately on. It’s hard for me to just lightly check emails, but still kind of relax. So I did, I took the whole day off, and now we’re back on Monday and I’m excited. I am refreshed, and I’ve been sleeping a lot, getting caught up. But it was a whirlwind of a book tour, a lot of fun, and the time off yesterday I think is the reason why today’s podcast episode came to me. Once you really quiet the mind and give yourself some mental whitespace, which I talk about; I talked about a lot actually on our book tour in my talk about the Fed and Fit Project. But mental white space is a really significant thing, because it allows then your mind to kind of quiet and fill in with maybe more meaningful and more significant ideas. <br> <br> So an idea that came to me yesterday, and it’s something that I’ve thought about a lot. And it’s a distinguishing factor I think in how some folks approach life, but I just never really had the words to put on it, and they came to me yesterday. So I want to talk about the benefit of the doubt. And I don’t know how long this podcast is going to last; I don’t know how long it’s going to take. Because what I normally do, so you guys know, when I write a show, when it’s just myself, I will draft out show notes and it’s not necessarily a script but I’ll write down the bullet points of what I want to talk about just to jog my memory while I’m going through the show. And it also helps me know how long; because I kind of have an idea how many words on a page converts into time on a show. <br> <br> So I don’t really know what today’s going to be like; I’ve got it just jotted down on a post it note; which is kind of fun. But it goes with the theme of the show; giving myself the benefit of the doubt that we can just figure it out. You can jump and life will be ok. You’ll figure it out. So this is just a very small example on a very large concept. <br> <br> So, really the question is; what would the world look like if everybody gave the benefit of the doubt instead of just doubting? This is an important distinction, because I think that; I don’t know. I’m not going to pretend to know if we’re hard wired to doubt,
