Change your story, change your life is Tony Robbins’ way of saying how much the stuff we tell ourselves really shapes our lives. It’s all about the power of our thoughts and beliefs.
Rewriting Your Inner Story
The Power of Self-Talk: Tony Robbins, the self-help guru, is all in on the idea that our mindset and how we feel play a huge role in where we end up. He’s keen on the idea that the stories we create about who we are, what we can do, and our worth can either push us to do great things, or keep us stuck. Often, how we see ourselves is shaped by the stories we’ve picked up over time. These can be positive, boosting our confidence, or negative, holding us back. By changing the way we talk to ourselves, focusing on our strengths and ability to bounce back, we can start seeing ourselves in a better light.
Breakthrough Moments
Turning Points for Personal Transformation: Robbins talks about three big things that can change the game for us: our state, our story, and our strategy. A breakthrough moment is like when the light bulb goes off because you’re just done with the old ways, and ready for something new. It could be a big event or a simple realization that makes you say, “Time for a new story.”
Here’s a story to think about: Picture a dad who’s always tense and always picking at the small stuff at home. Then, one day, his kid shows him a drawing of him looking grumpy and always on edge. That’s the moment the dad realizes he needs to change. He decides to relax more, not spread himself too thin, and be someone his family can look up to.
To change your story, you need to start with your state. If you’re down and out, feeling annoyed and tired, you’re not in the right place for good things to happen. But if you get active, boost your energy, you’ll start to see your story change for the better. And with that new energy, you’re ready to make the right moves.
