Wow,
we are already on tool 6! Did you know there were so many wonderful ways
to master your mindset and change your life? I know I've said this about
20 times now....but.....the tools don't work if you don't use them. Just
sayin.
Tool #6 - Tell A Different Story
We
are defined by the stories we tell ourselves. Now, the word,
"story" does not imply that it isn't true. It just means that
continuing to focus on it will not empower you.
For
instance, maybe your story is that things are hard. Life is hard.
Why can't things ever be easy? I had a crappy childhood and now I'm
having a crappy adulthood as a result. Nothing will ever change because
things are hard and I can't do hard things. Blah, blah, blah!
You
are DEFINED by the story you are telling yourself. Do you hear
that? What story are you letting define you and every decision you make?
Figure
out what your recurring stories are (do this by listening to what comes out of
your mouth regularly and your self-talk) and once you find the dis-empowering
ones, change them. Change your story to something that empowers you and
makes you feel good.
What
about this: Life is sometimes a challenge and I'm up to the
challenge. If life didn't have challenges it would be pretty boring.
I am now an emotional adult and I do not have to react to challenges like an
emotional child. I have tons of evidence that I can handle the hard
stuff. Look at all the examples I have of when I have done something hard
and felt so proud because I did it.
Doesn't
that feel so much better than the first story? It's truly that
simple. Decide to change your story to one that makes you feel good.
You
get to be the hero in your story. :)

ps -
"I don't have time" and "I don't have money" are two of the
biggest, crappiest stories (excuses) we tell. What if you changed THAT
story?
