The Stories We Tell Ourselves


Listen Later

As we grow up, we internalize certain stories about ourselves. I’m too short. I’m not creative. I can’t start a business because I’m not smart enough. I’m too loud. I’m bad at networking because I’m too introverted. In actuality, these are just thoughts and beliefs that we’ve said to ourselves so many times that we don’t even think about them anymore. We just accept them as fact. But are they true? How do we determine whether we should believe them or not? And if they aren’t true, how do we rewrite the story?

In this episode, we’ll chat about the following:

  • 02:03 – What are these “stories” we tell ourselves
  • 04:35 – Something I experienced too often when I worked in the corporate world, which contributed to one of my stories
  • 08:04 – Indicators that help you determine whether or not a story is true for you
  • 12:34 – My tried-and-true method for rewriting the story you’re telling yourself
