The Human Instinct for Storytelling

Instead of seeing everyone for who they are, we are only able to see them through the lens we’ve created for how we view the world.That lens is constructed piece by piece throughout our lives, depending on our traumas, pains, achievements, and life events.There’s no one to blame, especially not yourself, if you find yourself projecting your deepest fears or your strict standards onto other people. It’s natural. It’s part of being human.Projecting is when you believe something about the world and then start to see it in other people.  Each one of us HAS been hurt, bullied, bruised, traumatized, made to feel insecure or lesser than… So we create stories that support that narrative.We need to start recognizing  that our brains as just trying to "keep us safe" - and get over that -  in order to remove the barrier of anxiety and distrust.Would love to have you join the conversation on IG: instagram.com/jaim91Or come hang in my Facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/teamjaim91If you're interested in more mindset and health hacks for overwhelmed women, find me on Instagram @jaimefilerfitness, or head to https://call.jaimefiler.com/form to learn more about the 16 week 3R Method
