Veterinary Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites - How Not to Go to MSU

It’s been a while since we talked about “going to MSU” so let’s revisit that. Our brains like to group events together and weave a story from them. It’s part of how we learn so well, and it’s also how we miscommunicate so well.

Going to MSU means that your brain is making stuff up – making up a story that might or might not be true, based on the evidence it’s picked up over time. Someone was grumpy with you at work…that same person was in the boss’ office with the door closed just now. Your brain might make up the story that the person is trying to take your job, when in fact they might have shown up for work hung over one too many times and are being let go.

Understand your brain’s ability to make up very convincing stories. Make asking questions to gain clarity before jumping to a conclusion your default behavior…quit going to MSU and then reacting.
