The stories we tell ourselves
Posted on April 11, 2021 by Sara Liddle, One of Thousands of Relationship Coaches on Noomii.
How true are the stories you tell yourself, the things we tell ourselves are based on how we see the world. Some of this real and some not.
We are all storytellers!
Stories are great, they allow our imagination free reign to create a world beyond our current reality. As children, we learn best through stories, as adults, we create our own narrative to life and this has enormous power. Sometimes this power will serve us well, other times less so.
Those stories aren’t necessarily false but they are our interpretation of life events and they shape who we become and influence how we view future events. We make assumptions about ourselves and others, often with judgement and this can limit us. These stories don’t serve us well when they hold us back, keep us stuck in a place we don’t want to be or even worse make us shut down and disengage.
How to change this? Flip it!
- Re-frame
- Be curious, ask what’s really happening
- Ask what if my story isn’t true
- Reflect
