Stories I tell myself, about myself…

I write better after my second coffee.

When I do my morning meditation, the rest of the day is more productive.

I’m not very musical.

I’m on time.

Post-it notes help me clarify thought and do better work.

So does yellow paper…

Are these things true? Maybe. Have they been proven? In a way… Are they stories I tell myself? Sure – they’re among thousands that have shaped my view of the world, and my narrative of myself.

We can live through stories that were imprinted upon us by our education or the culture, or, we can choose to write our own. This choice can only happen once we these internal, flexible stories for what they are: stories.
