Thoughts are not facts. They are a mix of opinions, judgements, stories, memories, theories, interpretations, and predictions about the future.

Summary:
Hello, dear audience! I am back with a new mind-blowing review, Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before by Julie Smith. Let us get into the detailed summary without further ado. This book has been written by a clinical psychologist. Our mind deals with a lot of emotions, for example, anger, happiness, sadness, and grief. This book says that when our brain shows an emotion, we should analyze and observe the reason behind that particular type of emotion. For example, if we experience an angry situation, we should question ourselves about why we have been acting like this. It can lessen the anger.
The motivational journey of a human mind loses its energy after a few days. For example, you come across an observation of a book recommendation, and you decide to read the book. But when your motivation drops, you find the book not interesting and then move toward another one. The author says that we should choose whatever suits our interests, not what others suggest to us. That keeps your motivation intact, and you don’t find the risk of giving up. We can apply this idea in our lives by choosing our careers based on our interests. For instance, if I want to be an artist and I choose a different career based on my parent’s choice, I can find it difficult to continue at times.

From Author’s Perspective, Dr. Julie Smith:
You know how sometimes it feels like life is doing this to you. Lots of things happen all at once and you get really shaken up and you think one more thing and I am gonna explode. But then, Nothing. You manage to hold it all in keeping it all inside and from the outside, no-one knows what you are dealing with. But Just because it seems okay on the surface, it doesn’t mean that what we are going through hasn’t had effected us. Sometimes, we get so good at hiding it that we fool over selves that everything’s okay until something unexpected happens. Everything get out of control at that moment. It sis all about the wait we do . Don’t wait in seeking help until you get overwhelmed by everything all at once.
note that: seeking help is very natural, we all need help at some stages of our lives, and it is not wrong in any way!
