And then our mind is making sense of these.
It's creating a story.
It's creating a story about who we are.
And so the way to start to navigate this is to just understand also that we are not our thoughts.
It's just a whole bunch of zaps, zaps.
of neurons firing inside of our brain that are just innocent.
They're not trying to keep you up at night.
They're not trying to make you so stressed out that you can't give your presentation the next day.
They're just doing their thing.
And without them being regulated or without us focusing our attention, we're just going to be reactive as opposed to responsible for our thoughts.
I think the mechanism is just being human.
And what I hear you saying is, you know, what's happening that there's a couple of different aspects of it.
One is the snowball thinking, which we sometimes refer to as catastrophizing, where it's like one thought leads to another, leads to another, leads to another, leads to another.
And next thing you know, you've taken a molehill and you turn it into a mountain and it becomes this big thing in your head.
to even just the idea of, well, what happens when I can't let it go?
And a lot of it is because we think that we need the chatter in order to solve the problem.
So sometimes if you just say to a person, just clear your mind, just let it go, let that story go.
Without understanding that there's different types of chatter, it becomes a little bit more complex, but I'm just going to keep it all together for a moment.
So let's say you took the time and you wrote an email to your colleague and there was something that was happening that was upsetting you.
They did something that just didn't feel so good.
