When you step into a doctor’s office, you're a patient – that's your story in that setting. You’re probably there to get something checked out or fixed, and your doctor may already know about other things you've had looked at over the years. Each visit and every health concern becomes part of your story as a patient. But that’s just one version of you. There’s way more to your story.
The Different Versions of You
Think about how your story changes depending on who you're with. Maybe with friends, you’re known for being reliable, funny, or the one who always keeps it real. When it comes to your friends' parents or teachers, your story might shift to one of being responsible, having good grades, or being brave in tough situations. And online? Maybe you're a gaming pro, a creative expert, or even just someone who likes to have a little fun anonymously.
Layers of Stories, Layers of You
The thing is, we all have tons of stories about ourselves. Each story is like a layer of an onion – you choose which one to peel back depending on where you are and who you're with. But what if you kept peeling back the layers? What would be left? What’s the story at the center, the core of who you are?
Finding Your Core Story
Here’s the big deal: this core story isn't just something you tell others. It’s the story you tell yourself. It influences you way more than you might think. If your core story is that you’re helpless, that story could keep you feeling stuck. But if your core story is about strength, it could make you feel stronger and more capable in every part of your life.
What Story Are You Telling Yourself?
So, what’s your story? What’s the real narrative that shapes how you live and see yourself? If you looked past all the other stories and layers, what words would you find at the center? Figuring out that story – the one at the heart of who you are – might just change everything.
