Deep dives
The Power of Self-Stories
Our internal monologue, or the stories we tell ourselves, shape our identity and determine our actions. These self-stories, often operating beneath our awareness, serve the purpose of protecting us and keeping us safe. However, they can also keep us stuck in familiar but unfulfilling situations. By becoming aware of our self-stories and catching them in moments of reflection, we can begin to change our lives. Recognizing limiting beliefs and acknowledging their power allows us to release them and choose new, empowering stories that align with our goals and desires.
Choosing Positive Stories
While negative self-stories tend to dominate our awareness, the truth is that positive stories greatly outnumber the negative ones in our lives. The key is to shift our focus and give preference to the positive stories. By seeking out and amplifying the stories that motivate us and lead to the desired outcomes, we gain control over our narratives and ultimately shape our futures. This process involves confronting and releasing the negative stories, and intentionally choosing empowering stories that serve us in every area of life.
