Was just discussing the concept of the story we can tell ourselves about a situation — and how important it is to recognize that’s just one story. Multiple stories can exist. What you’re pointing out here: it’s really helpful to ensure those stories aren’t all through the same lens (e.g. fear-based). Often, switching lenses or finding other perspectives is hard to do solo. That’s why a great friend (or coach) is vital who can 1) empathize and then 2) help us shift to a more helpful POV.
