Reality cheque

Mar 12, 2024
Share

It is easy to get into a filter bubble and see things from your unique perspective.

When what you see isn’t totally helpful, write yourself a reality cheque.

I cash mine by asking these questions:

What is the unbiased truth I am avoiding?

Why am I avoiding this?

What happens if I come to terms with how things are?

Who has an answer to what I am facing that I’ve chosen to ignore because they are inarticulate?

What do I do next?

Accepting reality is one of the best ways to either avoid or ease suffering.
