Redefine your Story, Redefine your Life
Stories are more powerful than rifles.
Most mental health professionals agree that if a person can change their story, they can change their life decisions, commitments, and outcomes.
A captivating story can have life-changing effects.
Our environment and circumstances give us the paint and the context canvas, while our decisions, actions and reflections create a picture of who we are.
We embody our story and live in its shadow, so why do we not define it?
Over time I have built a template based on the book/research of Kerry Spackman1 , a neuroscientist, mathematician, and excellent writer.
I can see my vision more clearly and critically with each iteration.
The premise is that linking your ambitions to emotions and checking in regularly, we can rewire our brains.
Creating You
As humans, it is not as important to find yourself as it is to create yourself.
It is your responsibility to maintain your inner dialogue. Engaging in self-talk becomes a skill to be mastered, often involving training to be kind to your mind.
How will you write the next chapter of your story? How will you practice humility and self-love at the same time?
Where/Who do You Want to Be?
If you are at a pivot point in your life, I would highly encourage you to take a few minutes to look at creating a blueprint for your ambitions and intentions.
Remember that your first attempt is non-binding and will not be perfect. It is up to you to update the winner book/binder regularly.
Include photos of experiences, things, and people you love to encourage emotional links.
Here is a canva template to simplify the process. Don't think too hard about it. Just fill it out quickly, then improve it over time. (or click here to get a pdf version to print).
