Many of the emotions we experience come from the stories we tell ourselves about who we are and what’s possible. Once we change our story, our emotions follow suit.
Let’s unpack this:
I've come to realize that many of my day-to-day emotions aren't just reactions to what's happening around me - they're rooted in the stories I tell myself about who I am and what my life means. When I catch myself caught in a narrative like, "I'm not good enough," I notice my emotions spiral into fear, frustration, or sadness. These feelings aren't random - they're the emotional residue of that repeated story. But when I start to question that narrative and replace it with one grounded in self-love and grace, I notice a shift. My emotions begin to soften, and my experience of reality starts to transform. - Caroline Bloss
