What’s your story? Do you have a sense of how you might answer that question? What would you want your next chapter to be? As we live our lives, we often lose sight of the fact that we are the authors of our own story. Challenge yourself to create your narrative by considering any or all of the following:
Reframe – Remind yourself of the challenges you personally have overcome. Focus on the opportunities any setback presented. Study after study has shown that we can benefit from reframing the personal narrative that shapes our view of the world and ourselves. Reflect - Think about the people who have and continue to impact your life and point of view. Our support networks can influence (both positively and negatively) out awareness and actions. Realize – Take responsibility for your narrative, and for creating a life that you consider meaningful and purposeful. It doesn’t have to be a big mission, as long as what you’re involved in has impact for and to you. Relax – Sometimes a great story just happens, but most times we need to take a step back and consider what we really want, need, crave and deserve. Give yourself the space and grace to retreat, rest, recalibrate anfd re-energize. When you do that, regularly, the story you craft will more often become your reality. Reach - Sleep on the other side of the bed. Take an adventure. Try a new fruit. Volunteer. Participate in a race. Try stand-up. Read a different genre. Join a different community. Take a class. Whatever your “reach” may be, go out of your comfort zone and lean into the new thoughts, feelings, words and sentences it can inspire. It’s your story, go live it.
