Hey there, hero!
When things don't pan out for us, we want to know why. And sometimes, we simply tell ourselves stories...when we usually shouldn't.
We want to have things make sense, and so if we don't know exactly why something happens, good or bad, we might make things up.
Especially when we don't "get the gig."
As humans, we want - no, NEED - to know why (so we can fix things, or at the very least, not repeat the defeat). And so, if we don't have actual facts as to why things went south, we might instead make things up. And if we do that enough, that made up stuff starts to sound an awful lot like fact.
And it's not.
And I give you an alternative for you that short circuits the potential for what you made up in your mind becoming as believable as a fact might be.
What do you tell yourself when you don't book it? Is it supportive or constructive? Let me know in the comments below.
