Just a quick reminider that can help change your life for the better.

One of my favourite books was written by Byron Katie, A Mind at HomeWith Itself, I highly recommend it. Every now and then I have to give myself a reminder to remember, many of our biggest misunderstandings in life can be avoided if we simply took the time to ask, “What else could this mean?”

A wonderful way to do this is by using what I learned tp call a reframing tool, I initially picked it up from listening to Byron Katie, which I now tailor through my coaching work with others. I call the tool The story I’m telling myself.

Asking the question itself—“What else could this mean?”—can help reframe our thoughts and broaden our perspectives, however using the simple phrase The story I’m telling myself as a prefix to troubling thoughts has undoubtedly created many “aha moments” for mtself, friends and clients in recent times.

Here’s how it works: The story I’m telling myself can be applied to any difficult life situation or circumstance in which a troubling thought is getting the best of you. I've had many. For example, perhaps someone you love (husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend, etc.) didn’t call you on their lunch break when they said they would, and now an hour has passed and you’re feeling upset because you’re obviously not a high enough priority to them. When you catch yourself feeling this way, use the phrase: The story I’m telling myself is that they didn’t call me because I’m not a high enough priority to them.

Then ask yourself these questions:

• Can I be absolutely certain this story is true?
• How do I feel and behave when I tell myself this story?
• What’s one other possibility that might also make the ending to this story true?

Give yourself the space to think it all through carefully.

Challenge yourself to THINK BETTER—to challenge the stories you subconsciously tell yourself and do a reality check with a more objective mindset.


Thinking better does take practice and perhaps a little guidence, one of the ways I practice thinking better is when I wake up in the morning I make it a routine to imput or download whichever you wanna call it better thoughts of my morning, my day ahead, the people I wil be coming into contct with, my journey I'm sure you are getting the point now. The practice of these thoughts over time will becme automatic and heres the wonderful part about this is you will begin to attract circumstances and situatiosn that will support the feelings that come along with better thoughts.

Better thoughts better quality of life.

And of course if your having trouble with this know that your not alone get intouch and lets have a conversation.

Big luv Nas.
