Hello, everybody. Hello, everybody. Welcome to the podcast today. It is just your girl today. It's just Maggie. And I have a juicy little

podcast for you today. I think it was last week, Ryan and I had talked about facts versus drama.

And I was like, oh, that's something I don't think we've touched on in a really long time.

So we should make a podcast about it. So that's what we're going to talk about today, because

it's really, really important to know what, first of all, what are facts versus what is drama?

And how do you know, like, are you taking action based off facts or are you taking action

based off of drama? And why does it even matter? So it's really important that you have the

ability to separate out the two. And the best place to do this is on paper, in my personal opinion,

which I'll get into that later. But here's the problem with drama, right? When you live from

drama, you're not going to make the most impactful decisions. And more than likely,

you're going to switch up what you're doing way more often than necessary because drama is normally

emotionally driven. And not only that, but it's driven by emotions, you don't want to be driving.

So if you can master separating the two, there's going to be much less back and forth like pendulum swinging, like from one

end to another. So let's talk about it. Let's talk about facts. What are facts? Facts are the truth.

I've referred to them in the past as circumstances. Super neutral. There's no like pizzazz. There's no juicy emotions attached. And everyone

would agree on them. So facts are like as specific as possible. A good example of that is

the scale went up. That is not neutral enough. And it's not neutral enough because you're going to

have an emotion attached to that. The scale

when up isn't specific enough. It works, but I want you to get even more specific. So like, what is

the exact number on the scale? Or what is the difference since the last time you weighed? The scale is up

1.2 pounds since the last time I weighed.

You can see that there's no, there's no drama there. No one's like, oh, tell me everything, right?
