What if I can’t think of a good way to talk myself out of a “but…” statement? I sometimes find myself writing a half-hearted reflection 😅

You can always talk yourself out of a but statement maybe sometimes you just need to sit and reflect on the statement and ask yourself if the but statement is really true and break it down in steps to where you can see where the statement came from, what evidence do you have to support the statement , what evidence
Do you have against the statement and then you can come to a conclusion whether or not that but statement is valid or not
