Following up on our previous post ‘How to Use Stories To Create Change‘, let’s apply the same principle to internal change, focusing on our inner story.
We all have inner stories we like to tell ourselves. Sometimes these are rosy stories presenting events from a way that protects us or puts a positive spin to what happens to us; sometimes they are stories that relate to the identity we’d like to have. Inner stories are very emotionally loaded.
If we want to change, we need to change our inner stories first. By changing our inner stories we change our inner chatter and we change how we respond to events. We might even change our sense of identity. If we try to change without changing our inner stories, we will fail.
Change your inner stories to achieve real, lasting personal change.
