DAY 11 – RESIST THE URGE TO SHARE YOUR STORY     


Today your challenge is going to be to resist the urge to tell that “negative” story.  

Misery loves company and sometimes we like to get validation from others to justify our reactions.

But by repeating a story, more often than not, you are:

  • Retriggering the emotions that go with it
  • Setting off the stress response in the brain (again)
  • Making the story worse than the incident   
  • Getting stuck in the past (which can cause anxiety and/or depression) instead of enjoying the present
  • This doesn’t mean you can’t talk to someone about something major going on in your life if you feel you need to. Before you do just stop and pause first and think to yourself  – do I need to tell this story and is it going to make me feel better or worse if I do?
