Fathom 46: A Worrisome Fundamental Attribution Error


Part 1: Wearying Worries ðŸ˜Ļ

  • An existential application of the Fundamental Attribution Error (FAE) ðŸĪ“
  • The interesting perspective on the tendency to Blame worrisome thoughts for an unhealthy accumulation of Stress, but is that the ACTUAL CAUSEðŸĪ”
  • The Narrative we tell ourselves about a thought's MEANING, our ASSUMPTIONS about that meaning, and an ATTACHMENT to the narrative that compels us to act; trying to Control & prevent more uncomfortable thoughts seems more CAUSAL ðŸŦĢ
    • My examples around an unexplained Headache & fickle Kittens 😅
  • We can't control our thoughts, but we can control our Actions
    • Choose to FLOAT, Survival through Inaction! ðŸĪŊ🌊
    • Let the Brain do it's Braining without unnecessary stress; staying Safe & Well by allowing the thought to exist without the need to attach or to 'do anything' 🙏😇

Part 2: Rewarding Worries ðŸĪĐ

  • Let's leave the baggage behind & glimpse the silver lining! 🌈
    • A highly beneficial use for my 'Broken' Narrative ðŸ˜ē
    • Thinking that it is purely harmful, is yet another FAE! Animals that worry are more likely to Survive... ðŸ’Ŋ
  • My worry WOKE ME UP, made me Aware of the Healing to be done; gave me PURPOSE ðŸ’–
  • So why is that narrative now causing stress? ðŸĪ” 
    • My PURPOSE has changed, has shifted to Empowering Others through Coaching; I can't live them both! 😅ðŸĪ·‍♀️
    • My previous purpose served me well for a time; it certainly doesn't deserve to be Demonised ðŸ˜‡ðŸŒ 
  • My Higher Purpose could not have manifested without the previous one, which dragged my sorry ass through 40-years of undiagnosed neuro-Spicyness to authentic self Acceptance ðŸ’ĐðŸĨģ
