Emotions or ego? You have to feel it to find out.

Narratives are the stories we tell ourselves; the thoughts we have when our ego goes into protection mode. It’s when we stay in our head instead of dropping into our body to listen to what is truly going on. It’s sometimes the lies we tell ourselves. When someone starts to feel emotions coming to the surface and it’s difficult to name or explain, they tend to run to the narrative - to thinking - to get out of that place of discomfort.

The price we pay for overthinking

It could look something like… You’re in the middle of a discussion, you disagree with the other person and begin to feel angry, then the other person notices you are upset and you act like it is no big deal, talk really fast to end the conversation, and move on about your day without actually stopping to feel what came up and question why it happened.
