Hey there,

Happy hump day! And happy first week of April (Woot Woot)!

To start this week’s newsletter, I have a very important question for you…

Have you ever stopped to notice the way you speak to yourself?

That silent story you’re playing in the background of your life (your mental space), the one that whispers who you are, what you’re capable of, and what’s possible for you.

Yeah, that story matters more than you know!

Internal Story = External Reality

Your internal narrative is powerful. It’s the lens through which you see the world. It becomes the foundation upon which you build your actions, choices, relationships, and dreams.

So, when you constantly tell yourself you’re not good enough, not ready, or not worthy…

YOU BELIEVE IT!

Not only that, you live in alignment with those beliefs by playing small, hesitating, and holding yourself back.

Your life, your external reality, is a reflection of the mental story you are playing on repeat!

And the truth is, you can’t transform your life until you change how you think about yourself and your life.

But…

Once you make that change and begin to rewrite the narrative in your mind, your life will immediately begin to shift.

To do this, you have to get in the habit of paying attention to the story you’re currently writing.

Seriously, examine your thoughts as you go about your day.

👉🏼 What are you thinking as you’re on your way to work?

👉🏼 What do you tell yourself as you hear co-workers talking about their weekend plans?

👉🏼 How do you react mentally when you can’t figure something out?

The things you repeatedly say to yourself become your dominant narrative, which becomes the foundation of your life story!

🛑 Stop saying that you don’t think you can do this.

🛑 Stop telling yourself that you’re broken.

🛑 Stop ruminating over how you don’t think you are worthy and don’t think you belong.

Instead…

💪🏼 Tell yourself that you’re learning, growing, and you CAN DO THIS.

💪🏼 Tell yourself that you’re figuring out how the pieces of your life puzzle come together.

💪🏼 Tell yourself that you are WORTHY, CAPABLE, and well on your way to where you want to go.

The more you repeat empowering thoughts, the more they become your dominant beliefs, which shape your decisions, your energy, your habits, and your ENTIRE reality.

What you think MATTERS!

In a world where there are a lot of things that can be obstacles, don’t let the biggest one be your mindset.

One Challenge For You

This week, I want you to examine the story you have been telling yourself. Is it one you’re proud of living out?

If not, it’s time to take the pen back!

You are not the old chapters. You are the author of what comes next! ✍🏼

Until next time, keep going and keep growing.
