HalpCraftBetween Two Minds

BetweenTwo Minds

Same mind. A different outcome.

Between Two Minds helps you think clearly when something keeps replaying: a conversation that didn’t go the way you wanted, or a decision you keep circling. It’s a short reflection told like a comic: pick the version of you that showed up, name the voice that pushed back, and answer a few honest questions written for that exact match-up.

What it is

Some days the hardest conversation is the one in your own head.

You already know the voice. It tells you to wait, to double-check, to carry it all yourself.

Between Two Minds gives that voice a name and a face, and puts it up against the best version of you. Then it asks you a few honest questions about what actually happened.

It isn’t a personality test and it isn’t homework. It’s a few minutes of clear thinking, dressed as a comic, so it’s easier to be honest with yourself.

How a battle works

Five panels. A few honest minutes.

Every combination of hero, villain and outcome changes the questions, so no two battles read the same.

  1. 01

    Choose your cast

    Pick the hero, the version of you that showed up. Then pick the villain, the voice that pushed back. Any hero can face any villain.

  2. 02

    Who has the wheel?

    Right now, as you see it. There’s no wrong answer. This is where the reflection starts.

  3. 03

    Choose your depth

    Pick the space you have today. Deeper rounds add more prompts, not more pressure.

    • Quick, 3 prompts, about 2 to 3 minutes
    • Standard, 5 prompts, about 4 to 6 minutes
    • Deep, 7 prompts, about 7 to 10 minutes
  4. 04

    Tell it straight

    Set the scene in your own words, then work the questions this battle threw up. Finish with one good thing, and what you’ll carry forward.

  5. 05

    Log the battle

    Save it to your story. Over time you’ll see which heroes turn up for you, and which villains keep winning.

The cast

Five heroes. Five villains. All of them you.

Every hero brings two powers. So does every villain, along with a line it likes to use. You’ll recognise a few.

    Powers

    False kindnessMakes going along with it feel like being nice.

    Volume downTurns your voice down until the point is gone.

    “Do not make this harder than it needs to be.”

The villains aren’t other people. They’re the habits capable people carry, at work and at home. Naming one is half the fight.

When to use it

Whenever something keeps replaying.

Between Two Minds works best close to the moment, while it still has a hold on you.

  • After a conversation that didn’t go the way you wanted.
  • Before a decision you keep circling.
  • When something small is taking up a lot of room.
  • At the end of a long week, to put it down.

Issue #1 · Choose your fight

Pick your hero.

Then name the voice pushing back. Two to three minutes is enough for one clear pass.
