TELLING YOUR STORY IS IN YOUR NATURE
From the earliest days of humanity, people have told stories to each other. It’s in our nature. We always have, and still do thrive on telling each other stories about our daily lives, our aspirations, our opinions, personal histories, and so much more.
It’s equally true that we are hard-wired to tell stories TO OURSELVES, ABOUT OURSELVES, and these may be the most potent stories of all.
STORY AFFIRMATIONS
I have a name for the stories we intentionally tell ourselves, about ourselves: Story Affirmations. Why? Affirmations are statements we make to AFFIRM something we know to be true or want to emphasize, often used to counter-balance unhelpful narratives we’ve noticed circulating beneath the surface of our daily thoughts.
Affirmations make our thoughts intentional, and bring them to the surface.
Story Affirmations are brief stories we craft about ourselves and then repeat frequently to remind ourselves of our own magnificence (especially on those occasions when we’ve forgotten!)
Get a head start on YOUR Story Affirmation!
4 questions from the 20+ on your Sovereign Renaissance Woman Questionnaire.
~ What are 3 truths about yourself, that if you remembered them frequently and gave them prominence in your thinking, would shift the way you see your future?
~ What are 5 things you helped make happen that you’re proud of ?
~ What matters to you most about your next 10 years?
~ What do you most want to affirm?
HOW DO WE jointly CRAFT YOUR STORY AFFIRMATION?
1st. You complete a Sovereign Renaissance Woman personal questionnaire — the same questionnaire that you would complete for a Personal Renaissance Retreat.
2nd. You and I have a lengthy conversation wherein we discuss what you wrote in your Questionnaire. This conversation and what you’ve written become the core elements of your Story Affirmation.
3rd. I write a first draft of your Story Affirmation, and share it with you for your input
4th. We speak a second time for you to share your thoughts and feelings about your Story Affirmation’s first draft.
5th. I make the adjustments you requested to your 1st draft and share the final Story Affirmation with you! Now it’s yours forever, to repeat as often as you like, by reading it silently or aloud, or sharing it with a loved one, or even recording in your own voice so you can listen to it anytime you wish.
Cost: $450.
