Have you ever thought about how often the story you are telling yourself is flat out wrong? Before Life Coaching, I never once questioned the story I was telling myself, I actually was one to be strong in my beliefs and no one was going to tell me differently.
I have done a 180.
Most of the time the story we have told ourselves is bullshit and leads us to being the victim, the shamed, the forgotten, the unloved. Guess what? Most of the time we think people have all these thoughts about us, when really they are only thinking about themselves.
What story did you tell yourself today? Mine was, “How am I on Day 9 of being sick?” when the story I could have been telling myself was, “I’m thankful my body is continuing to fight this virus.” Also, being grateful for a boss that understood why I did not come into work today. Eventually I got there, and I let go of the guilt and shame that I was still fighting it.
How closely are you believing your story, and how closely are you looking at what is really happening in your thoughts and life?
