#604: The Story and The Narrative

In this episode, I am sharing a reframe of the story vs. the narrative of the story. The story is the story, it is the details of the event, simply the facts. The facts have no emotion, no bearing, no personal responsibility, blame, or meaning behind them. The narrative of the story is what creates the problem that keeps us stuck in a loop of a story that we don't want to be in. In today's episode, we discuss: 1) The story is the facts, and bringing yourself back to the facts allows you to stick to the facts. When we are in a more neutral emotional and energetic state we can respond vs. react and see possibilities that are in front of us to create change. We must be willing to let go of the old story before we can allow the new story to unfold. 2) We only accept, believe, and surrender to the thoughts that are equal to our emotional state. The stronger the emotions to the narrative of the story that we are holding onto, the more we are aligned to that experience or emotional state, and then the more the brain freezes and takes a snapshot. That memory is something that we keep replaying and it actually creates a chemistry of when it happened the first time and then our subconscious mind re-creates that event over and over again.
