Module 3: R- Realistic

🌄 Module 3: Realistic – Embracing What’s True

In Module 3, we focus on Realistic—the third N.O.R.M.A.L. principle. Often, our distress comes from the gap between expectations and reality. This module teaches you how to meet life as it is, without collapsing into despair or pretending everything’s fine.

You’ll learn to challenge unrealistic thoughts, reframe negative narratives, and confront truth with compassion, not avoidance. You’ll practice grounding your thoughts in clarity and balance through the Realistic Reframe activity.

🔍 What You’ll Explore:

• The difference between realism and toxic positivity

• Why avoiding truth creates deeper suffering

• Reframing strategies rooted in cognitive clarity

• A guided journal prompt: “What truth have I been avoiding—and how might it set me free?”

You’ll leave this module with tools to move forward with more confidence, clarity, and emotional maturity.
