WHAT STORIES ARE YOU TELLING YOURSELF
The stories that we have created at a young age are part of our inscribed “program”. This program helps us run our life on autopilot and protect ourselves from any negative emotions that we may face.
The problem is that this was designed and completed at the age of six, which means today you function on an “outdated program”.
Today you are going to change your story to an empowered one.
What stories are you telling yourself?
Each one of us created stories. Those stories are outlined to support our beliefs and to justify our limitations, fears, and other negative emotions.
Your story look like this:
| “I’m not good enough.” | “No pain, no gain.” |
| “I’m too old or too young.” | “This is the way it is.” |
| “I don’t have enough time.” | “Life is hard/tough.” |
| “I don’t have enough money.” | “I’m worthless.” |
Action step:
Follow the 5 steps below to break the story that’s holding you back and create a new empowering one.
1. Write down the story that you tell yourself.
2. Now, find out how you feel when you write the story and become aware of the negative feelings in your body.
3. The next step is to name that feeling, what are you feeling?
4. After you find that negative feeling, let it go.
5. Prove to yourself that you are wrong by looking for 3 real pieces of concrete examples that will contradict the story that you tell yourself.
For example, if you think that you are not good enough, find 3 times that someone else praised your achievements, or you completed a task successfully…
Every time the “not good enough” story pops into your mind, change it to the successful story.
6. Create a new story without limitations and tell yourself that story until it is implemented. (There is no limit, the only limit is in your mind).
