Catch the Story
🧠 CORE — CATCH THE STORY BEFORE YOU REACT
Something happens.
Someone doesn’t reply.
A tone feels off.
A meeting goes badly.
You make a mistake.
Someone says something you don’t like.
And within seconds, your mind starts filling in the blanks.
“They’re upset with me.”
“I’ve messed this up.”
“They don’t value me.”
“This is going to go wrong.”
Then the feeling follows.
Anxiety.
Irritation.
Hurt.
Defensiveness.
And before you know it, you are reacting to the story in your head, not necessarily to what actually happened.
That is where the pause matters.
Before you react, ask yourself:
What actually happened?
What am I telling myself about it?
Do I know that is true?
How do I want to respond?
That little gap between the thought and the reaction is where choice starts.
This is a big part of CORE — becoming aware of what you are thinking, noticing the stories you are creating, and learning to respond with more clarity instead of simply reacting.
Pause. Think. Choose. Respond.
And Scripture reminds us:
“Bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.” — 2 Corinthians 10:5 NKJV
Today, before you react, catch the story first.
