Why “How?” Beats “Can I?” Every. Single. Time.

Written by Bo, Founder of Recoup Personal Training

What if everything changed not by doing more, but by asking a better question?

Going from → “Can I do that?” …

To: “HOW can I do that?”

  • How many more opportunities would you go after? 
  • How many new things would you try? 
  • How many more possibilities would you see for your life?

It’s wild how 1 tiny word can shift your perspective.

Adding the “HOW” immediately puts your brain processor into action mode

See for yourself:

You know that 1 goal you’ve been secretly thinking about and just won’t leave your mind?

What if instead of thinking, “Can I [whatever your goal is]?”

  • Can I physically play with my grandkids the way I want?
  • Can I make better nutrition choices?
  • Can I workout more?

Switch the brain processor to: “How can I [whatever your goal is]?”

  • How can I physically play with my grandkids the way I want?
  • How can I make better nutrition choices?
  • How can I workout more?

Almost immediately, your brain will start coming up with solutions and ways you can bring it to life.

Now, the next question is: when are you going to get started?!

As the famous Chinese proverb says:

“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The 2nd best time is now,” it emphasizes that while the ideal time to start something may have passed, it’s still beneficial to begin now.
