Do you believe that you have a choice in the life story you are currently living?

We all have plenty of stories, especially around the holidays. They can be positive,
negative, encouraging, discouraging, joyful and/or depressing. For some, the holidays are incredibly depressing. For others, the holidays are ♬ The most wonderful time of the year! ♬ The determining factors in how you experience these times involve the stories you tell and how you operate within them.

Your stories have been created from a lifetime of experiences (extraordinary and
everyday) and influences (culture, family, friends, education, work, excitement, fun,
trauma, pain, etc). They have the greatest impact on your life, your relationships, and what is showing up for you. And, the more you are telling them to yourself and others, the more you are reinforcing and perpetuating them.

Stories are just that. Stories. It’s when you continuously tell them that they become
something more for you. They become your life.

Hopefully your story is a good one!

If however, you don’t like the story you are living, stop telling it. Stop sending the
chemical cocktails (stress hormones) of your story into your physiology. Stop
reproducing the same feelings you are trying to escape. Create a new story, the one
you want to be living. Create a new chemical release. One that feels good. Why would you want it any other way?

Your inner being is joyful and limitless. It feels no fear or constraints. Anything that feels otherwise is something that you have self-imposed. Nothing can make you feel bad about yourself or your experience, unless, you let it.

Everything that anyone is living is in response to the story they are telling. Period!

What do you want your story to be this holiday season?
