When something stressful happens, our brains quickly fill in the gaps with interpretations, assumptions, and worst-case scenarios. Over time, these stories can feel just as real as the facts themselves. This exercise helps you slow down and separate what actually happened from the meaning you’ve attached to it. By distinguishing facts from stories, you can challenge unhelpful assumptions, reduce unnecessary stress, and respond to situations with more clarity and intention.
