Episode 28 - Who Is In Control? You, or Your Thoughts?
I’ve realized something really important ....
You can either be controlled by your thoughts, or you can create a space so they don’t control you.
That one shift changes everything.
I use a very simple framework called STORY.
It’s not complicated—it’s just a way of noticing.
- What’s actually happening
- What I’m telling myself about it
- How that makes me feel
- How I respond
- And what that creates
It’s just helping you see the pattern.
Because most of the time… we’re reacting to the story in our mind, not just the situation itself.
I had a moment today that reminded me why this matters so much.
I was told about a situation… and almost immediately, I could feel it start.
My thoughts shifted.
They started going in a negative direction.
I could feel the anxiety rise…
frustration building…
and even a little bit of anger.
And right along with that came the urge…to react.
To call.
To fix it.
To clear it up right away.
That’s been my pattern for a long time.
🌿 THE SHIFT
But today, something was different.
I paused.
I didn’t immediately react.
I didn’t try to fix the situation right away.
And I also didn’t try to force myself to think something different.
Instead…
I just gave my mind a moment to breathe.
Instead of trying to force a new thought,
I gave my mind something steady to focus on and align with.
