Are you storyteller? Yes, you are.
What kind of story are you telling? The thing is, you may not even realize how the story you're telling is defining you.
Think about it.
Maybe you know someone who always says, "I can't figure this out, I'm not that techie, I'm clumsy, I never, they always...I'm too old, too young, too..whatever" you fill in the blank.The thing about these stories is that they become your truth.That's what stories do if you repeat them enough...they become the truth for you.
That's so powerful.
What story are you telling yourself right now? Is this the story that defines the you you'd like to be?
That answer might be hard to find because it's subtle. The self-talk that goes on in your head and sometimes out loud...it can be hard to pick up. Sometimes we don't even know we're doing it... until our life starts reflecting it and then we wonder how we got here.
Well...how did you get here?
One story...one belief at a time. Whether it's true or not, if you continue to act as if it's true, it becomes your reality. Your mindset.
What happens when you realize that the story that's unfolding isn't the story you want?
Ready to start exploring the story that you've been telling yourself?
Are you ready?
Let's get to it...
Your challenge...
Pick something easy, maybe it's the "I'm not techie" story or, the "I'm too old" story... something that's top of mind for you or maybe someone's told you that you tell that story a lot...just pick one.
Ask yourself:
What's the origin of this story? Maybe look back and get curious about it.
When did it start?
Why did I start telling myself this story?
Maybe it was a situation where someone had a strong opinion about what you were or weren't doing right. It's often these emotional situations that get locked into our heads and hearts. They're not necessarily true, but anything that's affiliated with a lot of emotion packs a punch. It's catching that self-talk when it happens and starting to get curious about it.
Whose voice is it?
Often it's not your own.
Maybe that's news to you, that that self-talk could belong to someone else.
Listen carefully.
Is it true? Maybe it once was and now it's not.
Changing your story takes courage, awareness and practice.
