The Rearview Mirror Illusion
Your brain is lying to you about your ex. 🤯That disastrous relationship you now call a 'valuable lesson'? Or that terrible financial mistake you've reframed as 'expensive tuition'? That’s The Rearview Mirror Illusion—your brain rewriting history to protect your ego from the pain of a bad decision.It works by:
* Turning toxic partners into 'character-building experiences.' 💔
* Reframing failures as 'necessary stepping stones.' 🧠This hidden bias keeps you stuck in the same cycles. Want to see your past clearly?
