Reena got up thinking about her sister Tejas. She felt that what Tejas said was totally unfair. The bad feeling just built up within her. She thought of what she should tell Tejas the next time they met. She carefully planned out her response.
A few hours later, they met. Tejas was oblivious to what was going on in Reena's mind. Reena thought that she would just let that previous comment pass. She would not talk about it. She smiled and joined in the small talk. Yet, the atmosphere was tense. It was as if Tejas could read her mind. Reena felt that there was none of the cordiality that normally permeated their encounters. Then she became impatient and urged Tejas to put away her mobile because it was distracting her. Tejas said nothing. Reena felt guilty. She analysed the situation. What had happened now? It was her own bad feeling that made her act so tensely. Now what she feared was becoming true. A rift was developing between them. All because she had allowed the story in her head to get the better of her.
Do you think that our thoughts influence our relationships? Has the story in your head ever affected a relationship? Would you like to share that experience?
