When you come home at the end of the day and begin to talk about how it went, what do you say? Do you only share the bad things and discount the good? Do you avoid sharing the bad?
I spend a great deal of time listening to people’s stories each week. I hear what people believe about themselves and about the world. We are all storytellers, friends. And we get to choose what type.
You get to choose if you want to focus your stories on the past, gathering evidence for what you believe to be true about yourself. Or you can focus on the future, the fantasy of the future, or the truth.
I invite you all to consider what kind of storyteller you are after this episode. What you choose to focus on impacts your beliefs and what you think is possible for yourself. It takes courage, self-care, and empathy to tell the truth.
In today’s show, I explore the different kinds of storytelling and how each one impacts your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs about yourself and the world. I show you how to increase your capacity to feel all the feelings so you can start telling whole, true stories. You deserve to tell yourself the truth. Become the storyteller of the future you want.
