In this episode of Confident Like a Mother, we explore the focusing illusion, the mental bias that makes stressful moments feel bigger and more defining than they actually are.  The book mentioned in this episode is Thinking Fast and Slow that shares a great psychology study, that helps you learn why your brain over-weights what’s right in front of you and how that can quietly shape your overall sense of happiness. Most importantly, we walk through a simple 3-step framework to help you zoom out, separate the moment from your identity, and rebalance your perspective so one hard moment doesn’t get to define your entire life.
