This simple exercise can help us slow down, challenge assumptions, and respond more thoughtfully rather than reacting emotionally.

Take a sheet of paper and divide it into two columns. In the first column, write down the facts. These are the things you know to be objectively true, without interpretation or assumption. In the second column, write down the stories. These are the meanings, assumptions, fears, or conclusions you may be attaching to the facts.

Then ask yourself:
• Do I feel safe?
• Do I feel seen?
• Do I feel heard?

I think clarity emerges when we separate what has actually happened from the story we are telling ourselves about what has happened. Contact me here and book a complimentary 30 minute discovery session.
