What’s your Story?

GIFSec.com

 

The story you create becomes the story of your life. You may think there is only one story, one cast of characters each who have their own scripts (I know you can think of the villain right now!). But our interpretations of our lives are largely subjective and fluid.  We get to choose what they are. This is where your creativity comes in 🙂

 

Take Mary, for example. She was a woman I knew who suffered greatly with chronic pain. She felt she was a victim to her pain as it prevented her from doing many things in her life. Her story was about how this pain had ‘ruined her life’, robbed her of happiness and prevented her from doing all the things she loved to do. Imagine if she stopped there. What chance does she have, if her life is ruined?

 

In reality our stories are interpretations, and always changing. Over time, Mary’s story changed to how she had learned to live with pain, take care of herself, find other hobbies she had never thought of before, and use all her strengths and tools to live the best life she could. 

 

What story are you telling about your own life? Or, even better, what story are you telling yourself about this moment? Can you see that it is ever-changing, and you always get to decide how this story will end. Don’t deny your pain but pleeease tell a good story!

 

Have a great week,

 

Madeleine

Honesty as Treatment for Pain and Suffering

“What’s wrong with a little white lie?”  You have probably heard that, or said it yourself. A little lie never hurt anyone. That might be true in some cases, and this is not a moralistic issue here, it’s a health issue.  We have ALL learned to lie. To ourselves, to

When I Gave Up..

Well, “gave up” is not quite accurate.  More like.. surrendered, sunk into the dep womb belly of my life in this moment, deep into my own body.  I embodied myself.  I wish I could say it was all sunshine and rose, but of course that was not the case.  There
