Change your story to change your reality.

Life lessons

Written by Sophie Parienti

Imagine a weekend morning when you wake up on the wrong side of the bed, the weather is gloomy, you’re out of coffee, and your horoscope predicts the worst!

What would you do then? Would you stay under the covers until the next day?

You could but think of a much more valid and inspiring alternative. Instead of deciding that this is not your day and giving up in the face of adversity, you can rewrite your story’s script and ensure a glorious remaining of the day.

Understand that we are the scriptwriter of our life’s movie. We write and tell our stories and decide how they turn out.

Of course, the entire set of that movie is not always under our command. What others say, think, or feel, and the social rules, even those of nature, are beyond our capacity to control.

However, we can adopt a way to observe our life positively to rewrite the experience we want to create as our reality.

So you see, if we don’t have control over what happens to us, we do have control over what we choose to do with our experience. Instead of desperately struggling with the morning news or feeling sorry for ourselves, we can embrace what life brings us and turn it into an opportunity to stop reacting to adversity and take responsibility for the contentment in our life.

Let’s start again. You woke up on the wrong side of the bed, the weather is gloomy, you’re out of coffee, and your horoscope predicts the worst…

First, breathe! Take a step back and observe what is factually happening instead of letting your emotions take over the possibility of perceiving the situation positively.

Then, see these circumstances as opportunities to use your time differently. Think about decluttering your home, reading a great book, taking an online yoga class, preparing a good meal, testing a new tea, etc. And, since you are the scriptwriter of your life, write your day’s horoscope in your diary, as you wish!
