There are two ways to figure out if it’s all just in your head.
The first is if you’re surrounded by empathetic people who know you and can call you out when the stories you’re thinking are truly just stories in your head – not reality.
Example of a story in a head: If I speak up, they’re going to think I’m incapable and that I can’t keep up and they might even consider firing me if they know I’m struggling.
Solution: A friend who hears you talking about your workload and is there to remind you of the team that’s around you ready to support and help you through the influx of work.
Sadly, we don’t all have these empathetic friends near us. (And to be forward, with how many negative stories we think, it would equal a few full-time jobs to combat it.)
So the second way is to write out the story that’s in your head in one column and then the other column is “reality.”
It’s funny how when you write it down on the “in my head” column, you realize it’s not something you can write on the “reality” column.
Just an quick way to keep yourself in check and moving forward.
Stay Positive & Control Your Head, Don’t Let It Control You
