On this week’s episode, I acknowledge the stories we tell
ourselves. You know those narratives we create that can be so
convincing, we actually believe it wholeheartedly. Well, I have to
laugh at myself for the narrative I recently created. I’m
calling this one “Big Fish!”
Think of all the narratives we create in our minds, assumptions we
make, stories we tell ourselves that then stir up emotions, that
then direct our behavior. Note to self: check in with the story! Is
it true? Is it necessary? Is it helpful? Does it generate angst or
inner peace? It certainly takes mindfulness and intention and
discipline to catch ourselves when we’ve created a dramatic
narrative, to hold ourselves accountable to the stories we tell
ourselves. May this silly story be a reminder to be present to what
is, with acceptance, to invest in positive, playful possibilities.
Here’s to being patient with uncertainty, to not needing to know
all the details. Enjoy the podcast!
