The Stories We Tell Ourselves (and Others)
Every story we tell is shaped not just by what we experience, but how it stimulates us. This week invites us to explore the art of storytelling, not for performance, but for discovery. What catches your attention? What sparks your imagination? Whether it’s a conversation, a book, a walk through nature, or simply a sudden insight, this is a time to stay curious. Let your inner narrator observe, reflect, and weave meaning into the seemingly mundane. Remember: the same event can spark a thousand different stories, each one filtered through the lens of our own unique truth. This is not about facts; it’s about the richness of perception.
The Power of Stillness
We’ve been trained to be mentally busy. Even when our bodies are still, our minds run marathons. Stress and anxiety have become the norm, not because life demands it, but because we’ve forgotten how to stop. We’ve forgotten that stillness is not weakness. It’s not laziness. It’s a return to our natural rhythm. n stillness, we gain clarity. We become present. We discover what truly matters. That is the gift of concentration—to be with what is. To be with ourselves. To see the moment before us and recognize its quiet purpose.
