The next time your mind gets out its crystal ball and starts jumping to conclusions about what someone else is thinking, remind yourself that you don’t actually know what that person is thinking.
You might have a feeling, a fear, or a familiar story that your mind is telling you, but that doesn’t make it true or a fact.
You don’t have to fill in the gaps, assume the worst, or take responsibility for something that might not even be happening.
Sometimes, the simplest, kindest thing that you can do for yourself is to pause, notice the story you mind is creating, and give yourself a little room for the possibility that, in some way, there’s perhaps another explanation.
If you’re thinking about counselling and would like to find out a little more I offer a free 20-minute introductory chat, with no obligation. You’ll find the link in my bio or send me a DM quoting “Introductory chat please” and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.
