Your brain is wired for comfort, and in the absence of facts, your brain creates stories, filling in the blanks with ideas that may not be helpful. By pausing to reevaluate these stories, we can increase self-awareness and respond rather than react. When we understand how emotions show up for us, we are able to rewrite the stories we make up about ourselves and other people.
