Stories Are Beliefs

We are all great storytellers.

We understand and interpret life experiences as on-going narrative stories that contain conflict, struggle, characters, places, and lessons, all wrapped up with beginnings and endings.

Our narrative comes from within us—our personality, our surroundings, our upbringing, our experiences, all of which shapes our perspective and colours our world.

This narrative becomes our core identity story. It is the story of where we came from, the story of our struggles, our lessons, and our limits.

Research shows that as humans we are wired to automatically think in familiar ways dictated from our past narrative experiences and memories. Furthermore, our physical bodies memorise the chemical records of these past experiences and fuse them together with emotional feelings.

When we repeat our past, we train our minds and bodies to respond and replay those feelings. When the mind and body work together, they create deeply grooved states that become our core beliefs. They then run automatically with no further input on our parts.

Almost everyone goes through the day on autopilot. This is a normal state dictated by the unconscious mind running on memorised chemical and emotional programmes.
