It's been way too long since I wrote anything on my blog. So today's the day. When working with clients, the one thing that I see that can hinder their getting better is the fact that they hang on to what I call their "story" or in some cases, their "stories" because they may have more than one. Do you know what I mean? I'll give you an example. Fred's story (the name has been changed to protect the innocent) is: I don't have a good memory. I haven't had a good memory and haven't been able to remember things since I was a teenager.
Well guess what, if he keeps telling his "story" over and over again, he's never going to have a good memory. I remember my Mother's story was "I don't do well in the morning" and guess what, my Mother didn't do well in the mornings. My sister-in-law's mother gave her some advice one time. I wouldn't say it was good advice, but advice none-the-less. Her advice was just don't get up early, stay in bed until noon. Ha, Ha, Ha. Although she meant well, it is definitely not the advice I give my clients.
My advice is you've got to "let go" of your story if you're going to get better. Well, maybe letting go is not exactly what you have to do, you really have to change your "story." I totally changed my "story" which was about remembering things. Now my "story" when something doesn't come to mind right away is, I'll remember it in a little bit. Or sometimes I say "I remember everything." Does that mean I remember everything, no it doesn't. But I can tell you this much, I remember a whole lot more than I used to and it's getting better all the time.
My question to you, do you have a "story" you need to let go of or change? I challenge all of you to change it right now, do not wait a minute longer. I promise you, you will see a difference and it will change your life.
If you have a comment or a subject you'd like to discuss, please let me know. Have a great week.
