5 Steps to tell a better story and be your authentic self, 4U.

A warm welcome to you. 

I appreciate that you are here, 

Thank you.

Stick n stones may break your bones, but names will never hurt you- WRONG

Names can hurt you - if you let them.

What happens when you worry or believe untruths said about you?

Basically, you think of 100 reasons why it might be true,or you seek evidence in your daily life to validate the lie.

Your self image becomes impacted and  impaired.

Then, all of those thoughts -can start to become things...like evidence ..that falsely has you believing.

So that even though logically you may know it's wrong,- emotionally thoughts are overriding those factual thoughts.

So those hurtful words- that  you hear from another (especially someone you are emotionally connected to)   can get in... and  can stick, even for a lifetime...if you allow it.

 How do we change the weight of those lies, that collection of mental sticks and stones that become mind rocks, heavy and burdening, holding you down.?

1.Break them down into pebbles, big enough to label what you do want so you can  kick them out of your way.!  

2. You do the exact same mindful process in the opposite way. (Like a mirror)

3. Start telling a newer exciting story , just like rocks are heavy , with time and ebbing away the rocks become smaller, those sticks and stones can be used to build a greater self!!  ...and so your new story grows.

4. Slowly you learn to think of 100 reasons why it might be false 

5. Now seek evidence in your daily life to validate the authenticity -witness the new story unfold- the truth of who you REALLY are. If this is tougher than my suggestions- ask me how...

MAREES WEEKLY MOTIVATIONAL WORD

Being authentic means being true to yourself, and not copying another. It means walking in your personal set of values and beliefs, so that you live life according to your true and incredible journey. Are you ready to fly?

Because it's you who Rocks- you-do you know that?

It's you who entertains or dismisses any thought be it heavy, or helpful.

It's you who is authentic, original and dynamic, and not the opinion of another.

Sure nothing is set in stone...yet when you see yourself as the one who rocks, you see you..

So let's be kind out there people.

MAREES MOTIVATIONAL WEEKLY QUOTE;

Say, do act in ways that you would want for your life and be utterly proud of it. (Maree McManaway)

 Set your self  bar high, and let the shields of self love protect you as you select who and what you will allow into your incredible gift -called life.

Stand strong on this solid rock called Aotearoa and rise your emotions, like our mountains where the keas fly..

I'm walking with you all the way- Go for it!x
