What is Your Story Mate?

What is Your Story Mate? It was only a few months ago as I was feverishly going about my marketing efforts to connect with business owners and business executives to meet the timeline of my communication workshop. Those who really wanted to lift their game in communicating at a much higher level and accelerate their business and personal results.

Through my marketing, training workshops and coaching sessions I get to know people on a deeper level, which I love, due to spending more with them.

When you willingly invest a number of hours with the same person you can start to see, if you look out for it, that’s my job, habits, patterns and programs that show up in their communication. Some of these habits, patterns, programs are really wonderful and serve the client well. Some of them are so good, I adopt them into my own life and lifestyle.

There are also other habits, patterns and programs that they are running that are detrimental to themselves by causing upset in their lives and stops them from becoming the better version of themselves and enjoying a wonderful life.

The thing is, that most of us are so involved in our lives, we just can’t see the detrimental habits, behaviors and programs that we run. It’s completely outside of our awareness.

One of the roles of a coach is to bring AWARENESS of the inappropriate programs their client is running in a gentle way for them to make the necessary changes and improve their life.

Now…..

Unless someone engages a coach to take this role on, we can’t go around pointing out people’s faulty programs. Well…we could do it, BUT, in that context you will soon lose all your friends and gain some enemies. Now, we don’t want that, do we?

So, what does all of this have to do with what is your story mate?

Very simply, I have noticed that people run programs that become their story or narrative if you like. They have a story and the more times you see them the story becomes more obvious.

Stories like….

• I’m so tired…
• My body hurts so much…
• I’m so busy…
• I’m overwhelmed at the moment…

These are the preamble to every conversation you may have with them and its this story that is stopping them from enjoying a healthier, energized body and happier life.

When we continue to run these stories or narratives about our life, they become a self-fulfilling prophecy, they become our reality.

I remember having a conversation with a young lady not so long ago and during the 30 minute discussion, I noted that she used the words, “I don’t know”, at least 20 times. That’s another story, narrative that is dictating the results in her life.

What is your story mate?

Do you have a story or narrative that you run your life by, and as a result of that narrative, you are experiencing results, that you don’t want, in your life?

Become aware of your programmed story and if it doesn’t serve you, please create one that does.

Outside of awareness, outside of control…
