Hey there. One of the biggest shifts I’ve had in my own growth journey is realizing how much time I wasted telling myself stories about other people. I used to assume I knew why someone said something, why they acted a certain way, or what they thought about me. Those assumptions almost always came from a place of insecurity. And the truth is, the stories I was telling myself were only holding me back.

The good news is, we don’t have to live in that space. We can choose to observe those feelings for what they are, fleeting emotions that don’t define us. With practice, we can learn to let them go without letting them take root.
