The Mind is a Hell of a Storyteller

Who doesn’t love a good storyteller? However, Michelle Gielan author of “Broadcasting Happiness” encourages us to be strong at fact checking ourselves: “the mind is a hell of a storyteller…better check the facts and present counter facts.” Are you believing all your thoughts to be true? Would it help to pause for a moment and see if you can come up with some counter facts to what your mind is telling you is true? Perhaps this would support living more mindfully in the present and not getting too caught up in the stories our mind might be telling us.
