Scott Perry explains how the stories you tell yourself shape your health, happiness, and ability to act. Reframing your narrative isn't just feel-good talk: it changes what you actually do next.
We are creatures that make sense of ourselves, our situation, and each other through storytelling. I'm telling myself a story about myself. I'm telling myself a story about the story that I think you're telling yourself about me. And I'm telling myself a story about the situation that I'm in, the circumstances that I'm experiencing. And that's all storytelling. You get to choose your narrative. And so if there's a narrative that is not feeding your health and happiness, then it's time to let go of that narrative and choose a narrative that allows you to become a little bit more empowered, to see and step into and stay in your power, to reframe your thoughts and to decide and do what is necessary to do next.
