Alright, folks!

Buckle up because today, we’re diving into the wild world of the invisible stories that run our lives, and trust me, they can get a little wacky!

I’m talking about those assumptions we cling to like a child to a teddy bear, thinking they’re keeping us safe when really, they’re just holding us back.

Remember that time I dressed like I was about to conquer Mount Everest, only to step outside and melt faster than an ice cream cone on a summer day?

Yeah, that’s a perfect metaphor for how we overthink our decisions!

Today, I’m sharing some honest-to-goodness wisdom about how these pesky little narratives are costing us not just our sanity but also opportunities galore.

So, grab your favourite beverage and let’s unravel these tales together—because the world needs your brilliance, and it’s time to break free from those self-imposed chains!

In a world where our brains are busy crafting elaborate tales about why we can’t do something, it’s time to flip the script!

This Wednesday on the Choosing Happy Podcast, I took a hilarious yet enlightening trip down memory lane, well - yesterday, sharing the tale of my ill-fated dog walk that turned into a life lesson.

We often get trapped in our own narratives, believing that our assumptions are facts.

But guess what? They’re just stories! And like bad sitcoms, they need to be cancelled!

From thinking that following up is annoying to believing our pricing is too high for clients, we’re unravelling these myths like a ball of yarn tangled in a cat’s paws.

Join me as I challenge you to audit your stories and take a leap of faith into evidence-based decision-making. Because let’s be real, the only drama we need in our lives is the one on Netflix!

Takeaways:

• Our internal stories often lead us to make assumptions that limit our potential, just like my dog walk saga!
• Don't let your mental narratives dictate your reality; test your assumptions and see what happens!
• Every assumption you haven't tested is a decision you're making on behalf of others—let them decide!
• Reality rarely matches our dramatic imaginations, so take action instead of getting stuck in your head!
• Challenge yourself to a little 'story audit' and find out which beliefs are holding you back from greatness!
• The world is waiting for what you have to offer, so stop hiding behind those old, untested stories!
