Question your story
A story you believe becomes a rule you follow. Check that it is true.
The idea
We all carry stories about ourselves: "I'm not a morning person," "I always give up," "I'm bad with money." Some are true. Many are habits of language that have never been examined.
Why it matters
A story you believe becomes a rule you follow. If the story is inaccurate, you are obeying a rule you never agreed to.
The shift
From treating your stories as facts to treating them as hypotheses.
