Our thoughts can lie to us. People don't know that. But our thoughts can be not true. One of my favorite examples I'll often use in coaching is this girl has a boyfriend and they break up. And she sees a picture of him on Instagram with another girl. And she's very upset about it, obviously. She goes home and she's miserable for like a month. She binge watches Netflix, eats a bunch of junk food, doesn't reach out. She's just really depressed. So she runs into him after this month. And she says, I saw your picture on Instagram. And he said, Oh, yeah, that was my cousin. So her thoughts were that he had replaced her. And it was just the cousin. So because her thoughts went one way, she was miserable for a month. But the reality is it was just his cousin. I mean, had she had she not thought it was a new girlfriend, she wouldn't have had a miserable month.
