775. What’s the story we’re telling ourselves?

Really, everything we tell ourselves is a story. 

If we change our story, then we change our life

My life’s the way it is 

My life can get better 

My elbow hurts from lifting weights, it’s always going to be like that. 

My elbow hurts from being weak so I strengthen it to get it stronger, eventually, it won’t hurt. In fact, it’s been a month of rehab and it doesn’t hurt anymore. 

They made me mad, that’s why I yelled. 

I control my emotions. 

I’m stuck in this dead-end job 

I’m learning how to code so I can change careers. 

Can you spot the difference? 

If we change our story, then we change our life.
