🌧️ Leo and the Rainstorm

 Leo was great with numbers- he could solve tricky problems with just a spreadsheet. 

But when it came to feelings? That was trickier.

Inside Leo’s head, his brain had two buttons:

• ⚡ Panic Like a Squirrel

• 🐢 Hide Like a Turtle

One quiet Tuesday, a single raindrop tapped his window.

Plop.....

To Leo, it felt like a thunderstorm had just crashed into his world hiding.

His chest tightened. His breath sped up. His brain shouted:

“The roads will flood! 

I’ll miss my deadline! 

I’ll get fired! My career is over!”

Frantic, Leo typed a warning email to his boss, backed it up with emergency spreadsheets, and planned for worst-case scenarios.

Then - ding! - A message arrived.
His boss chuckled:

“Leo, it’s just a drizzle. Also, you sent the whole company a spreadsheet saying we’re investing billions in giving treats for rats in rat-races 😂”

Leo blinked. Outside, the rain had stopped. A pigeon fluffed its feathers on the windowsill.

And Leo laughed. Because suddenly, he saw it:
His body wasn’t broken. It was just scared. But the story it told? Not always true.

💡 What Leo Learned ???

Sometimes our feelings yell louder than facts.
But when we pause, breathe, and look again, we see :- 

Most big storms in our heads are just tiny sprinkles.
And even a squirrel with an anxious heart can feel calm again when the sun comes out
