Lounging With Lisane | What Actually Happened? The Stories We Tell Ourselves

In this month’s Lounging with Lisane session, we’ll explore how quickly our minds create meaning in relationships; and how learning to slow that process down can shift the way we experience conflict, communication, and connection.

We’ll check-in. We’ll meditate. And we’ll explore the difference between an event and your interpretation and how gaining awareness of that difference can open the door to more clarity, compassion, and a more thoughtful response.   

Most of the tension we experience in relationships starts with interpretation.  

Meaning is made and a story created in response to a facial expression or tone. A delayed response to a text or phone call sends you right into your thoughts. Someone unavailable to show up when and how you’d like takes you over the edge.

Then, your imagination takes over and,  before you know it, your mind has filled in all the blanks. You’ve decided what the other person meant, what their behavior implied, and what it means about the relationship. 

The problem is that the stress, hurt, argument, or silence that follows isn’t coming from what actually happened. It’s coming from the story we created about what happened.
