INSIDE OKDHS SELF-CARE, JANUARY 2014 - A NEW STORY

(MUSIC PLAYS)

At the start of the year a new chapter begins - a blank page to be written on. The challenge is not to bring forward a story from the past that doesn't reflect who we want to be. What we tell ourselves about our lives becomes our reality. If you change the story, you change your life. Are you writing a comedy or a drama, an adventure novel or a rulebook? Changing how you frame events and the language you use allows you to create a different experience. 

Question if your interpretations of events and relationships are fact or fiction. Imagination can be hurtful if it embellishes the negative. Use your creative skills to craft a tale you'd rather tell, picking your words with clarity and kindness. A fresh perspective leaves room for hope and optimism - a new beginning with a happier ending. Take control of your story and take time to take care.
