'''Narrative and meaning‑making thinking''' refers to the mind’s ability to organize experiences into coherent stories that provide identity, purpose, and direction. Narrative thinking shapes events into [[Understanding|understandable]] sequences, while meaning‑making interprets those events in relation to one’s [[values]], [[Goal setting|goals]], and sense of self. Together, they form a core cognitive system that helps individuals understand their past, navigate the present, and choose future actions with clarity and intention.
