Listen "Expectation Vs Reality"
Episode Synopsis
Did you know that being dyslexic means we can visualise an outcome in such detail, that for us it is a reality already? Talking about something means we create visual images/pictures/movies in our mind and we connect emotionally to those.
This is an upside to being dyslexic, but the downside to it is when we are connected with our thoughts of something happening - and we connect to those, rather than the actual event happening (or not) in the real world!
This happened to me in a meeting and after one discussion I had thought the decision was made and would be happening, in the next meeting I was so surprised when the decision was talked about again as maybe happening! Because I understand what happened, I was able to readjust my picture and thus my emotions.
