Absolutely, I often use that as a technique in coaching people with goal setting in the affirmative. People will often say, “I don’t know what I want in x area of my life” … let’s say we are talking about love relationships, so I say, tell me about all the things you didn’t want in your previous relationships and then we flip each “don’t want” on its head to find their “wants”.
It’s fascinating how humans often have a blind spot for our desired outcomes but we are super clear, focused even, on our undesirable outcomes… yet we find ourselves bewildered/upset when we call in our undesirable outcomes.
