This is a the first episode of the "mental goggles" series, where we dive into each type of filters that influence the way we perceive the world around us. 

Personalisation is the mental filter where we take on irrelevant events or comments and perceive that it is directed towards us (that we are to blame, that we have done something wrong). For example, a friend could say "I'm bored" and you may perceive it as 'they are bored because I am boring and have nothing to offer.' Personalisation can impact our perception, and ultimately our mental wellbeing.

Become aware of your mental goggles in order to see that things are not necessarily as negative as you are perceiving it.
