Real Positive Change: Creative Renewal for Women

Episode 28 - Who Is In Control? You, or Your Thoughts?


Listen Later

 

I’ve realized something really important ....
You can either be controlled by your thoughts, or you can create a space so they don’t control you.

That one shift changes everything.

 

I use a very simple framework called STORY.
It’s not complicated—it’s just a way of noticing.

  • What’s actually happening
  • What I’m telling myself about it
  • How that makes me feel
  • How I respond
  • And what that creates
  • It’s just helping you see the pattern.

    Because most of the time… we’re reacting to the story in our mind, not just the situation itself.

     

    I had a moment today that reminded me why this matters so much.

    I was told about a situation… and almost immediately, I could feel it start.

    My thoughts shifted.
    They started going in a negative direction.

    I could feel the anxiety rise…
    frustration building…
    and even a little bit of anger.

    And right along with that came the urge…to react.

    To call.
    To fix it.
    To clear it up right away.

    That’s been my pattern for a long time.

    🌿 THE SHIFT

    But today, something was different.

    I paused.

    I didn’t immediately react.
    I didn’t try to fix the situation right away.

    And I also didn’t try to force myself to think something different.

    Instead…

    I just gave my mind a moment to breathe.

    Instead of trying to force a new thought,
    I gave my mind something steady to focus on and align with.
