Coaching Hotline: Navigating "Just Get Over It" and Imagined Critics

Understanding "Just Get Over It"

• 💡 The phrase "just get over it" is unhelpful because it's a vague instruction that doesn't provide your brain with any clear direction on how to change your thoughts or feelings.
• 🧠 When you tell yourself to "get over it," you're often judging your current emotional experience, which tends to make things worse.
• 🔍 Instead of vague instructions, dig deeper to understand the specific thoughts and feelings you want to shift.

Addressing Imagined Critics

• 🎭 When you feel judged by others, it's almost always a projection of your own internal judgments and self-consciousness.
• 🎯 The "faceless group" judging you is a manifestation of your own thoughts and beliefs, not an external reality.
• 🔑 Focusing on your own thoughts and beliefs about your achievements, rather than the imagined opinions of others, is the key to overcoming this.
• 🗣️ Remind yourself that the only opinion that truly matters is your own, and that imagined critics are often projections of yourself.
