Day 21 of #strala30--Freeing Me from my Story

10/26/2016

Chances are, if you've reached any amount of age in the world, you've got a "story". Something you tell others about your past triumphs/tragedies. This story you've told over and over again--to coworkers, to friends, to family, and to yourself. It doesn't really change because it's just become part of your lexicon.
-
I found myself telling my "story" to someone and feeling absolutely like I was having an out of body experience as I was speaking. After the conversation finished, I took time on my drive home to dig deep and really get curious with how I was speaking about myself.
-
Upon reflecting, I realized I've embraced the victim role. I spoke my story as a victim. I've continued to speak my story as a victim.
-
And it's up to me to change how I share my story. Because I am more aware. Because I have grown since all those twists and turns. Yes, I wouldn't be me without those events, but I don't have to let the victim role define me.
-
I can always choose again. And so can you. Choose to tell your story from an empowered position. Because you are powerful. More than you realize.
