Rewrite your story
We all carry stories about ourselves—narratives that shape how we understand our lives. Over time, these stories harden into what we accept as truth.
Our behaviours mirror the story we tell about ourselves. We act the way we do because of who we believe we are.
Remember the old psychology trick? Think "clouds," "paper," "ice cream"—now, what do cows drink? (if you're not familiar with it, most people answer "milk" because of the previous messaging, when the actual answer is "water").
When we repeat certain phrases in our heads, they prime what comes next. What you've been saying about yourself has become your reality.
Sometimes these stories come from others. Sometimes you author them yourself.
Our story impacts our weight
What's been the narrative of your weight journey?
How did your struggle begin? What messages did you internalise? What script have you been reading from? Many people's stories include lines like "I can't lose weight," "I'm big-boned," "Everyone in my family is heavy," "I always gain it back," or "I have a slow metabolism."
Has this script served you? When the story is negative, the outcome follows.
If you could rewrite it, what would it say instead?
Your New Story
Starting today, tell a different story:
- "I can't lose weight" becomes "I'm changing my relationship with food".
- "I have a slow metabolism" becomes "I'm fuelling my metabolism well".
- "I always gain it back" becomes "I'm moving closer to my weight loss goals".
- "I don't have the willpower" becomes "I need a plan, not willpower, to lose weight".
Unknowing Ourselves
We hear a lot about getting to know ourselves. But sometimes we need to unknow ourselves—to release the character we've been playing and the story we've been telling, so we can live authentically.
