Recognize the Stories You Carry

They heard voices of disapproval again and felt the rise of doubt within. They were drawn to follow their pattern of dropping their focus to comply, but they knew that they didn’t believe in the doubts these disapprovals planted. They recognized their pattern and chose to not feed what wasn’t theirs to own. With a deep breath, they refocused on their path. They chose to go their own way to respect who they are and knew that it was not a choice to disrespect any other. 

In life, we must take time to recognize the stories that we carry and make the choice to follow our narrative to leave what doesn’t agree with us behind. Catching our thought patterns and making different choices are small steps to changing our story and loving who we are. Old thoughts will continually arise and it’s up to us to catch them to create what we desire. Listen to yourself and be gentle with yourself as you transition into the new you.
