Math vs Drama: What Are You Making it Mean?

There are always two things happening in our minds: 

#1: The facts of our situation: This is something that could be proven in a court of law. It is void of emotion and just staring the facts. Facts are neutral. 

#2: Our story about the facts/drama: This is what we are choosing to make the facts mean. These stories or dramas are usually emotionally charged. 

For example: 

Fact: I have X amount in my bank account. 
Drama: I will never own a home!

Fact: My Partner hasn't responded to my text yet. 
Drama: They don't love me anymore"

Fact: I have a deadline for a work project. 
Drama: I'm going to fail!

Fact: My friend said they are feeling overwhelmed 
Drama: It is my job to manage their overwhelm. 

When we focus on the drama rather than the math, it can cloud our judgment. 

Take a step back, slow it down, and see what shifting your story could create. 

If you're unable to create a positive story, see if you can create a more neutral one.
