Storytelling Reframe
Purpose / Reason
Practice telling your story not as a victim,
but
as a warrior who endured and transformed.
How to Apply
- Draw a quick life timeline with 6-10 key turning points.
- Next to each, note what you learned and what part of you grew.
- Write a 5‑line 'working identity' story for this season.
- Re‑read weekly and adjust one line as you evolve.
How & Why It Works
- Narrative identity work integrates experiences into a coherent self‑story, lowering confusion.
Results & Goals
- Immediate (0-72h): Less overwhelm; one value‑aligned action completed; early relief from rumination.
- Short‑term (1-4 weeks): Drafted identity story, 3-5 micro‑experiments run, clearer boundaries with key people.
- Medium‑term (1-3 months): Coherent sense of self across roles; consistent habits that reflect chosen values.
