Episode #158 - Realists
Sixes often say, “I’m not negative… I’m just realistic.”
But what if that isn’t actually true?
In this episode, I explore how Sixes often mistake threat detection for realism. Our brains are wired to scan for what could go wrong — and when those predictions occasionally come true, it reinforces the belief that we’re simply seeing reality more clearly than others.
But that isn’t realism.
It’s a very specific slice of reality.
I share a simple practice you can try immediately to expand your capacity to take in more of what’s actually possible — not just the negative outcomes your brain predicts.
In this episode we explore:
-
Why Sixes believe they’re “realists”
-
How our brains encode threat prediction as truth
-
The difference between realism and fear filtering
-
A simple body-based exercise to widen your perception of possibility
