The Stories We Tell Ourselves

The Creative Unlearning

Show Notes

What if the story you tell about yourself is limiting your potential and the possibilities that could exist for you. We think that neatly pouring our huge expansive selves into one tiny story is what gives us a sense of who we are and what we stand for. But what if those stories are just illusions? What if you moved through the world without a defined story of yourself, what doors could that open up for you? What more paths that you hold a curiosity about could you walk through?

How would it feel if you dropped the stories you hold about yourself and explored life more in the moment? Today’s episode takes a look at the power of dissolving our stories.

In this week’s episode I ask the question, are you a creative butterfly? Do you flit from one new idea to the next but never see any single one of them through to the end? We take a look at how we can use constraint as a way of insuring we learn to see some projects through to completion.
