Rewriting my story

                                                                   

We all have personal stories we tell ourselves; it takes self-awareness to know whether the story we have been telling ourselves is true or not, and where does it come from? I realized that the story I have been telling myself was not my own story, it was the story I have been hearing from other people, and I believed it. It was clear why I thought and acted the way that I did, I felt like a victim. 

It was time to rewrite my story, I had to figure-out how taking a full responsibility for my life looked like, I had to stop acting like a victim, and be mindful about my thoughts. I learned that my thoughts can either empower or destroy me, I had to change how I used to think about myself, and at first it was not easy, but I kept moving forward, changing one thought at a time. 

As time goes by, I began to see myself differently and I started telling myself a different story, I understand that I am the author and editor of my own story. My new story is helping me to be more present and I am able let go of the story that no longer serves me. This new perspective influences the choices I make each day, and I am willing to do the work because there is still a lot to be done.

My self-image needs to be maintained each day because I want to continue to make better choices for myself, it is important to check in with myself and see if I am still moving in the right direction, I need to know the story I am telling myself every day, because every decision I make depends on this story. I am no longer a victim of my life. 

    

 This is not a once of process, it is a life- time journey because we are evolving, we need to keep rewriting our stories, let's take back our power.
