#203 "I'm no good at this, besides, I'm too busy right now"

     Is the above, and many other similar statements we hear inside our head a "direct readout on reality"? Most of us unwittingly accept these as absolute statements of fact! But they're not. They're just conditioned, usually dysfunctional scripts with which we unwittingly, continuously handicap our lives. We can choose to free ourselves from these prisons.
     Our stories are just stories, and have little to do with reality. See if you can intentionally switch to an "observer perspective", and objectively assess this “story of me”, asking yourself, “Is this really true?” and “Is this story helping me – or is it stale junk?” Then gently bring awareness back to the task at hand and do what's appropriately helpful now.
