We are our stories.
No. These are not stories that surround us or that are told about us. These are the stories that we tell ourselves, that we share in our heads. Stories of…
I am not good enough
I am not skilled or experienced enough
I am not smart enough
I am not strong enough
I am not…enough
Instead of those, perhaps begin telling yourself different stories, stories of…
I am magical
I am complete
I can do this
I am resilient
I am unique
I can survive this
I can overcome this
I am complete and I am…enough
When do you tell these stories?
All of the time. Quietly and continuously. One story at a time, shift from ‘not’ to ‘am’ stories and become what you truly are.
Stay agile my friends,
Bob.
