  The Stories We Tell Ourselves: The Importance of Shifting Your Mindset

  Brad Graber, Author, Dark Victory Press

  TOPIC CATEGORY: Motivational

  We all have stories we tell about our lives. Some are shared in families. Others, with friends. Stories about when we met the love of our life. About the day our children were born. How we found our first job. But there are other stories that we don't share. Those are the internal stories going on in our heads. The stories we tell ourselves about our worthiness. About how people think about us. Stories that affect how we process the world around us. Stories that rule our nature and impact the quality of our lives. How can we edit these stories and find a better path? MORE >
