Because who needs haunted houses, when your own brain is the one doing the haunting 👻
It’s spooky season. The pumpkins are out, the candles are flickering, and your brain?
Oh, it’s thriving. Every tiny thought suddenly turns into a full blown horror movie:
“What if everyone secretly hates me?”
“Did I embarrass myself in that meeting?”
“Remember that weird thing you said in 2019?”

The Ghost of Self Doubt
She’s been haunting you since middle school. Pops up whenever you do something mildly brave like speak up in a meeting or post a selfie. She whispers, “You’re not that great,” then vanishes into thin air, leaving you questioning everything.
Spoiler: She lies. Constantly.

The Vampire of Comparison
Lurks on social media, sucking the confidence out of your feed. Someone’s on vacation? Bite. Someone got a promotion? Bite. The cure? Step into the sunlight, touch some grass, and remember you’re not behind.
Spoiler: You can’t (and don’t want to) live everyone else’s life.
🕯️ How to Survive Spooky Emotions
1. Name the Monster:
When your thoughts start spiraling, say it out loud: “My brain’s being dramatic again.” It immediately takes away the jump-scare factor.
2. Check the Script:
Ask yourself: “Is this fact or fiction?” Nine times out of ten, your brain’s writing fanfiction based on zero evidence.

Your brain is creative, clever, and a little chaotic. But it’s not always telling the truth 🎃
So this Halloween, when your brain starts spinning horror stories, think: “Cute. Try harder.”
