I love asking myself, “What is the story I’m creating right now,” which I picked up from my favorite leadership guru, Brené Brown. When I’m in meetings with principals and directors (I work in public education) I will often ask them, “What story are you telling yourself right now about this situation?” It’s a great way to insert a pause when someone is starting to spiral.

Yup. And it’s just curious and value neutral. Much better than judging ourselves or others!
