Day 5027: Stories we like to tell

In therapy, we talk a lot about the stories we like to tell. I encourage people to tell the positive stories about themselves, since we tend to remember and focus on the negative.

Do you see stories we like to tell in my images for today?

Apparently, the Daily Bitch isn’t interested in listening to the stories we like to tell.

Here’s what I find on YouTube when I search for “the stories we like to tell.”

Colleen Georges likes to tell stories similar to those I like to tell.

Thanks to all those who are here for the stories we like to tell, including YOU!

Day 4981: Stories I Tell Myself

Stories I tell myself include the following:

  • People are basically good.
  • People are stupid enough to believe what they want to believe despite the facts.
  • Mistakes are fatal.
  • I can make a difference.
  • Nobody listens to me.
  • Nothing matters.
  • Everything matters.

It helps me to remember that these and countless other assumptions are stories I tell myself. I want to be open to new stories of all kinds.

Are there stories I tell myself in my images for today?
