Thinking about how we repeat things ….to ourselves…inside our heads…. Things we have come to believe as fact, about ourselves or the world, then
Repeating these things, almost casually, in our heads, until they are just a "given" of sorts and eventually we don't question them. until for whatever reason out of the Blue, we wonder.
Old Man Crow recommended a book called “Thinking Fast and Slow” by Daniel Kahneman, made me question every thought, decision and opinion I have ever held onto including the way I have lived my whole life by listening to what my heart sees aka magical thinking. Your questioning mind will enjoy it!

Storys…we tell storys to ourselves, we tell them to others. It can help to define a moment and feeling, an insight. And when repeated too much, can hem us in.limiting possibilities. Best not tell the story to much and rather watch it unfold. There is always movement.
I am learning to “tell” my story less.

we tell to others so they know something important that we
want them to.
it’s the self stories, i am…………….

or is something old that no longer applies…
