What kind of story do you tell yourself?

Our lives are shaped by

"The stories we tell ourselves" every day.

.

It sounds a little exaggerated to say,

All our lives are shaped by

Small things we tell ourselves every day.

.

Our brains remember what we choose.

Instead of really remembering the incident,

You should think, right?

.

So each day we face a lot of stories,

You're telling those stories to your brain.

.

But can you believe that?

Every story that happens is a coin with two sides.

You can 'choose' to tell a story from any side.

As you 'choose' to see it,

.

[For example]

On the day you were in such a hurry and ran until a terrible fall accident caused you to miss an important event.

What kind of story would you choose to tell yourself?

.

1) Tell with a "bad" feeling.

Why are we going through this today? (The idea of "born to me" rises in my head) And the bully blames it for being so uneven that it stumbles (you tell yourself that this is not your fault, pointing the finger against other things, whether it's fate or fate)

.

2) Tell with a "powerful" feeling to get up, wade on.

Although it's a pity that today has missed the opportunity to offer an important job, the next opportunity is still there. And luckily, we're fine. Just a few weeks of knee abrasions should heal. Next time you need to be more careful and in case of more time you don't have to rush into an accident (you tell yourself that the whole story happened because of some of your own shortcomings).

.

Both stories are caused by the same incident.

But the person who tells each story views it from a different angle, and you can choose what kind of story to tell yourself.

.

Every time we go through a lot of stories each day...

Don't forget that we always have the right to tell ourselves that story, and these little stories determine what life you're going to create.

.

This article is crystallized and compiled from a self-drafted life book - round fingers.

.

Thank you, sir. 🙏

... Read moreในชีวิตประจำวัน เรื่องราวที่เราเล่าให้ตัวเองฟังมีอิทธิพลอย่างยิ่งต่อทัศนคติ ความรู้สึก และการตัดสินใจของเรา ตามที่บทความได้ชี้ให้เห็นว่า สมองของเรามักจะจดจำสิ่งที่เราเลือกมาเล่า มากกว่าที่จะจดจำเหตุการณ์นั้นตรงๆ ดังนั้น การฝึกเล่าเรื่องในแง่บวกจึงเป็นเครื่องมือสำคัญที่จะช่วยเปลี่ยนแปลงชีวิตให้ดีขึ้นได้อย่างมหาศาล การเข้าใจว่า "ทุกเรื่องราวมีสองด้าน" และเราสามารถเลือกได้ว่าจะเล่าเรื่องนั้นด้วยมุมมองบวกหรือมุมมองลบ ไม่เพียงช่วยลดความเครียดและความทุกข์จากเหตุการณ์ไม่ดี แต่ยังช่วยเปิดโอกาสให้เรามีพลังใจ กล้าเผชิญกับความท้าทาย และเรียนรู้จากประสบการณ์นั้นๆ ด้วย ความตั้งใจที่จะมองเห็นด้านบวกจะทำให้ชีวิตมีความสุขมากขึ้นและช่วยส่งเสริมพัฒนาการด้านอารมณ์และจิตใจที่เข้มแข็ง ตัวอย่างในบทความ เช่น เมื่อเกิดอุบัติเหตุจากการรีบร้อนก่อนงานสำคัญ เราสามารถเล่าเรื่องนี้ให้ตัวเองฟังในสองแบบคือ เล่าในแง่ลบว่าเป็นความโชคร้ายและโทษสิ่งอื่น หรือเล่าในแง่บวกว่า "เรายังโชคดีที่ไม่ได้รับบาดเจ็บรุนแรง และจะเตรียมตัวให้ดีขึ้นในอนาคต" นี่เป็นการฝึกคิดเชิงบวกที่แท้จริง และเป็นกลไกที่ช่วยให้เราปรับตัวและเติบโต นอกจากนี้ การเล่าเรื่องที่สร้างสรรค์ต่อตัวเองยังสัมพันธ์กับความเป็นจริงและความรับผิดชอบต่อตัวเองอย่างตรงไปตรงมา เช่น การยอมรับว่าความบกพร่องบางอย่างของตัวเองอาจเป็นสาเหตุของเหตุการณ์นั้น ๆ และพร้อมที่จะปรับปรุงแก้ไข สิ่งนี้ช่วยสร้างความน่าเชื่อถือและความเป็นมืออาชีพในการพัฒนาตัวเองอย่างจริงจัง การอ่านหนังสือและเรียนรู้แนวคิดต่างๆ จากหนังสือ "ชีวิตที่ร่างเอง" ของนิ้วกลม ซึ่งเป็นแหล่งแรงบันดาลใจให้กับบทความนี้ จะช่วยสร้างความเข้าใจลึกซึ้งเกี่ยวกับการเล่าเรื่องต่อตัวเอง พร้อมกับการพัฒนาตนเองในด้านอื่นๆ เช่น การรับมือกับความล้มเหลว การเสริมสร้างความเชื่อมั่น และการวางแผนชีวิตอย่างมีสติ การฝึกเล่าเรื่องในแต่ละวันต่อสมองของเราว่าเรื่องราวนั้นเกิดจากมุมไหน ช่วยให้เรากลายเป็นผู้ควบคุมชีวิตและจิตใจของตนเองได้มากกว่าเดิม ดังนั้น ไม่ว่าจะเผชิญกับสถานการณ์ใด ขอให้จำไว้เสมอว่า คุณมีสิทธิ์เลือกเล่าเรื่องนั้นให้ตัวเองฟังอย่างสร้างสรรค์เพื่อชีวิตที่ดีขึ้น
