About this episode:
- A story I was telling myself that was holding me back
- The life-changing book Choose Your Story Change Your Life by Kindra Hall
- We are always telling ourselves stories whether we realize it or not.
- Our inner storyteller is as unique as our fingerprint.
- Our self stories are so ingrained in our routines that we are unaware of how they are affecting us.
- The stories we tell ourselves keep us safe - or so we think. They actually keep us stuck.
- Step #1 in Stop the Mind Screw is to analyze your self-talk and it is there for a reason!
- Kindra lays out 4 steps in choosing our stories. Those steps are 1. Catch, 2. Analyze, 3. Choose, 4. Install
- Because the stories we tell ourselves are who we become we really must catch, analyze, choose better stories, and then install them.
- Awareness is the first step to changing everything. Kindra tells an awesome story about the iceberg that took down the Titanic.
- Our stories are usually just below our awareness - sometimes they peek out - Kindra calls these "iceberg moments"
- This is step number one catching those stories in the process.
- Analyze: Once you begin understanding the stories you tell yourself that you can become aware of how to change that story and start telling yourself a story that will serve you. It isn't about lying to yourself, it is about empowering yourself.
- Choose: We have a tendency to only remember the bad stories. It is time to reinforce the powerful stories. Mental diets come in handy here. Want to know more about a mental diet? Download your resource guide here: 🍕 www.kathieowen.com/mentaldiet
