How our Maps of Reality Create our Stress: NLP Coaching Series
As humans, we create an internal map of reality. Then we respond to reality, through the internal map of reality.
We confuse our internal reality, our internal map of the world, with the world itself. Essentially as humans we are made to project our internal reality outwards into the world, and then mistake the projection as what is truly real.
This is the key cause of our loss of mental well-being. Majority of our problems with our relationship with life, occur because we confuse our internal reality for the outside reality – and then we expect life to behave in a particular manner that matches our expectations.
We create assumptions about how reality should be, then we create expectations based on these assumptions and these expecations are not met, which causes us stress, anxiety, pain, discomfort and a loss of mental well-being.
