I really haven’t had that exciting of a life. There are a lot of things I wish I would have done, instead of just sitting around and complaining about having a boring life. So I pretty much like to make it up. I’d rather tell a story about somebody else.
Kurt Cobain
We all tell ourselves a story. We often tell that story to others too. Our story is the way we see ourselves in the world, our view of what’s happened to us in the past, and who we are because of it.
Sometimes our story is sad, sometimes, it’s funny, sometimes it’s downright terrible. And we trot that story out time after time; for ourselves, our families, our friends…
But what if that story doesn’t serve you? What if that story compounds low self-esteem, or failure, or loneliness? What if that story is a constant reminder to us of a painful time in our lives?
The Law of Attraction states that whatever we think about most and talk about most is what we draw to us. That or things of a similar vibration.
You need to ask yourself if you want to keep living that story.
Because maybe it’s time to write a new one…
Journal Exercise:
Today, write yourself a new story. Make it up, like any good writer would, but let it have a few bones that are real.
Tell yourself a story that is empowering and positive.
Look for examples from your life that illustrate a different truth for you – of times when things have worked out, when people have been kind or helpful, when you’ve known success, when miracles have happened.
Or, if you are feeling brave, or creative, just write a new and entirely ficticious account of your past, present or future.
What is the life you would like to live? Write about that AS IF IT IS ALREADY HAPPENING!!!
