#604: The Story and The Narrative
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I am sharing a reframe of the story vs. the narrative of the story. The story is the story, it is the details of the event, simply the facts. The facts have no emotion, no bearing, no personal responsibility, blame, or meaning behind them. The narrative of the story is what creates the problem that keeps us stuck in a loop of a story that we don’t want to be in. In today’s episode, we discuss: 1) The story is the facts, and bringing yourself back to the facts allows you to stick to the facts. When we are in a more neutral emotional and energetic...

In this episode I am sharing some thoughts on self-awareness and how it can be your greatest gift. It can be the thing that supports you in the first steps of creating change. Self-awareness is the ability to see yourself clearly and objectively through reflection and introspection.
If you're highly self-aware, you can objectively evaluate yourself, manage your emotions, align your behavior with your values, and understand correctly how others perceive you. Those who are highly self-aware can interpret their actions, feelings, and thoughts objectively.
In today’s episode we discuss:
1) Self-awareness is the ability to tune in to your own feelings, thoughts, and actions. When people are self-aware, they understand their strengths and challenges and know what helps them thrive. emotional self-awareness is that most of us are on autopilot and don't even know it. We lock in our thoughts, beliefs, habits, and behaviors early in life. And that kind of hardwiring is tough to rewire.
2) When we look inward, we can clarify our values, thoughts, feelings, behaviors, strengths, and weaknesses. We are able to recognize the effect that we have on others. Start with being aware of your triggers, how you're landing with others, and how your routine behavior impacts your future opportunities.
3) Ways that you can improve your self-awareness is to meditate, slow down, move your body, recognize your boundaries, lead and coach yourself, see where your actions are not in line with your values, focus on one thing at a time, and watch your screen time, it is a huge and surprising trigger.
