“Well, I’m going through a break up, so obviously I’m sad…” She just looked at me. (My coach at the time…) “Because break-ups are sad…” 💁🏼♀️ “Are they?” Now I just looked at her. “Well…What are we celebrating?”, she said. Although I initially didn’t like her tone (or her assumption), I didn’t skip a beat. “We are celebrating the end of “the way it was”. The end of my anxiety. The end of my wondering…” That’s all it took for my brain to switch gears. I went on a roll and I stayed in that gear going forward. “If it’s ever going to work out, it’s not like that… so at least that “way” is done.” Proof that right there that “Stress isn’t what happens to you. It’s what and how you THINK about what’s happened to you.” This didn’t mean that the good parts being over wasn’t sad… but it did help my brain shift me into healing and growth mode. It added an “and”. It can be sad AND necessary. It’s what your brain focuses on the most that is going to determine how you get through it.
