"I'm not consistent." "I never follow through." "I've never been athletic."
You say these things like facts. They are not facts. They are the story you built about your past, and you have been using that story to predict your future.
In this episode, I show you how to stop sentencing yourself with your history and start using it as information. You will learn how beliefs about yourself form, why your brain keeps collecting evidence for the story you already believe, and exactly how to build a new one.
I also tell the story of how I went from turning down a 25-mile bike ride in high school, convinced I wasn't athletic, to riding 64 miles over the Colorado National Monument.
In this episode:
* Why using your past as a prediction keeps you stuck * How confirmation bias edits your memory into a closing argument * The difference between reflecting to learn and reflecting to sentence yourself * A three-part evidence audit for "I never follow through," "I'm not consistent," and "I've never been athletic" * Why dreaming big is a skill many women leaving high-control religion were never allowed to practice * The six-step process to create a new future: name the story, find the contrary evidence, thank your past self, choose the identity first, act from that woman, and collect new evidence * A therapeutic art prompt: The Script and the Blank Page
