We're taking the month off so this week, a classic from deep in the archives! This week on the show,\\xa0we\\u2019re talking about stories.\\xa0

An example: You\\u2019re on the highway. Someone races up next to you and cuts into your lane. You\\u2019re surprised\\xa0and scared for an instant, which leads to frustration\\xa0\\u2014 and maybe anger. That person is rude, oblivious, stupid, probably didn\\u2019t see you because they don\\u2019t care about others in their lives.\\xa0\\u2026 and so on, and so on. This is your story. A story you\\u2019ve made up about a person you have never met, based only on a split second\\xa0fear reaction.\\xa0

These are the stories we tell ourselves\\xa0to help us rationalize our reality. This week on the show, I share where these stories come from, why it\\u2019s so important to understand how they impact us and offer a bit of\\xa0insight that will help us face our stories and let them go!
