The Subtextt Principles
Life rarely makes sense the first time you look at it. Every experience, every feeling, every moment that confuses or unsettles you, has a layer beneath it worth examining. Subtextt uses science to explore that hidden layer.
These four principles are a lens for looking at life more closely and underpin every post.
Return to them when something isn’t making sense.
And when you’re ready to work through a specific experience, this practical guide will show you how.
Never mistake what you can see for a conclusion.
Treat what you observe as information, not as the final answer.
Push beyond what’s visible.
Ignore your first instinct on a situation. Clarity lives deeper than that.
Step through what you see towards your feelings.
Slow down enough to feel rather than just think, what is confusing will start to align with what you need to pay attention to.
Trust what they do, not what they say.
Before you trust someone, look at how they live, how they treat others, and what they do with what people share with them.
