@thegratitudemind: Some of the biggest arguments in our lives begin over things the other person never actually meant. There’s a mistake almost all of us make when listening to others. And once you recognize it, you might never hear what someone says quite the same way again. #mindsetshift #perspective #positivepsychology

Günel :

Iris Нalloway wrote something in The Magic of Receiving that i have been trying to find for years, the section on the difference between wanting and allowing is unlike anything i have read in this space

gratitude mindset | shannon :

Am I responding to what they actually said… or to what I decided they meant?

İrana.Aliyeva :

just finished The Magic of Receiving by Iris Halloway and the chapter on why we block abundance before it even reaches us completely shifted the way i understand my own patterns

JustLiveLove_Laugh :

As a leader I’ve felt and experienced this. The amount of hours spent needlessly worried are countless - so, when I send a message to my team members, I preface or end the message with - don’t worry - it’s all good! If it’s anything more serious, I’ll call them. 💜

Thanks for sharing!

SIEMPRE 956 :

Hypothetically, someone asks you to meet without providing any context. Your gut immediately tells you something isn’t right. You show up, and the outcome is exactly what you anticipated. Was that a mistake in thinking? Or was it intuition shaped by experience? Sometimes the mind isn’t creating a false narrative. Sometimes it’s recognizing a familiar pattern. Not every assumption is wrong simply because it was made before the facts arrived.

Check back for understanding.

Hanna T Meja :

Until I became a TikTok user I believed that concept but I was introduced to observe my thoughts before opening my mouth. You are one of those content creator who thought me that. I want to say THANK YOU.

joyllano4 :

So true..I try to be very clear in communication. However, it is how we perceive. And many times what we perceive can be correct..but not always..so we have to leave room that we could be wrong. Text is the perfect way to misunderstand at times. I try to always ask and never assume because if you assume you can make> ass u me..as the saying goes.

James :

Only if we let the contrôle to our ego 🤣🌹

Evelina Rosavelle :

Thank you.🥰

Shift | See Life Differently :

I've noticed this about myself so many times. Someone says something and I immediately take it the wrong way, even though they didn't mean anything bad by it... 😔

angelpsyche⚡ :

Johnny$$$$ :

Awesome Attic :

Yes!👏Thank you for the reminder.

Emilio :

for the most part you're right. the mind does play games with us. in general terms, a category things into three categories, positive, negative, or neutral. positive and negative leads to judgment or from judgment. neutral, is not making a decision at all.

Safia |Abayas •Travel •Modesty :

You are completely right, I’ve hated how people interpreted what I do or say while I actually didn’t mean it that way since I was just a child
