The stories we tell ourselves A la Brené BrowN

Today on TCR I wanted to talk allll about the stories we tell ourselves. We're into 561 whichis insane! I remember years ago reading some of Brené Browns work and loving it... things hadn't been great in my marriage at the time (for a while) and a huge part of it was that we weren't commicating in a way that either of us could hear each other. So instead of having conversations about our feelings, we'd shut down or fight - neither of which is productive. I remember reading about the Rumbling and how we all make up stories in our heads about whatever it is that's going on. She explains a framework to rumbling.. and I have to tell you: This transformed my marriage, my coaching, my writing… pretty much my life! You may be wondering what the heck this has to do with marketing? And business? And all the othter things rolling around in your head.. But if you took a moment to have a vulnerable conversation with yourself, really writing down the story that youre teling yourself about why you're not where you want to be, where you think you should be, what would happen if this didn't work, what story would you be making up? What are YOU telling yourself? What you are effectively doing is living in ONE PROBABLY FUTURE. A shitty one, most likely!! We've become freaking excellent at discounting our abiities to get to where we want to be. We tell ourselves stories about what could happen if you launch a marketing campagin that doesn't.. you put yourself out there and do a LIVESTREAM... or what if you make an offer to someone and they say no. When you've worked out the DISEMPOWERING story, you have space to create an ALTERNATE PROBABLE FUTURE that you can now focus on. What you focus on, after all, is what you'll get to the exclusion of all else. Being VULNERABLE with yourself and with other people can feel uncomfortable, awkward, hard.... but what if you chose instead to believe that being vulnerable is actually YOUR SUPER POWER? In life, relationships, business, your coaching, in your practice, with your clients, in your marketing, in your writing and even in your videos? Wouldn't that be a GREAT story to rumble with?
