The story you tell yourself about your life shapes your perception of who you are and what you believe you’re capable of achieving. What story are you telling yourself in your life? Do you focus on your strengths or your weaknesses? Are you caught up in a narrative that is less than empowering?
There’s no doubt that stories are powerful. In fact, the stories you tell yourself change and shape your brain. Dr John Arden in his book, Rewire Your Brain, explains, “The more you describe your ongoing experiences in a particular way, the stronger the neural circuits that represent those thoughts will become. Your narratives can be positive or negative.”
