Thanks for sharing this Brandie. It’s so true that our stories can hold us back until we realize that they are just stories. In her book the Joy Diet, Martha Beck wrote something about once you figure out your story for this particular scene decide whether it is a helpful one or not. If not, change it.

Thanks Megan and Ariane. I appreciate your courage to share your story, and how you changed it, Ariane. It’s a big deal to face what is holding you back and to overcome it and help people.

Hi Brandie!

What an excellent insight! I could very well have titled that post "How I Changed My Story So I could release clutter" (but the theme of the month was "unlearning" : )

Now that you mention it, all the bad habits I've changed, and all the fears I've overcome started with questioning the story I was telling myself in my head and then creating a new one. With the right story in your head, the action toward what you want gets so much easier. It takes a lot of energy to have to constantly fight the "story".

Thanks for sharing your insights!

Right on Brandie! I too enjoyed the presentation! What I love most is that once we realize that we have gotten lost in the story… it really is a little easier to get out of it… it’s just knowing the difference between reality and the story… thanks for blogging on this… I might join you!
