It takes conscious, consistent and creative effort to make a life worth living.
Ever thought about how the stories you tell yourself influence your life? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer chats with R. Scott Gornto, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Sex Therapist, about his book *The Stories We Tell Ourselves: Stop Jumping to Conclusions. Free Yourself from Anxiety. Transform Your Relationships*. Gornto dives into the profound impact our internal narratives have on our emotions and relationships.
The conversation kicks off with the familiar Parable of Two Wolves, which Gornto uses to highlight how our inner stories can either feed our fears or nurture our strengths. He explains that these narratives often arise from assumptions and limited information, leading to unnecessary anxiety and misunderstandings. Gornto emphasizes the importance of becoming aware of these stories.
By recognizing and challenging them, we can start to let go of the need to control every aspect of our lives and instead embrace the present moment. This shift in perspective can lead to deeper connections in our relationships and a more peaceful state of mind. The episode also explores the link between anxiety and ignorance, stressing how awareness can be a powerful tool for personal growth.
Gornto's insights offer a refreshing take on how we can transform our lives by simply changing the way we think. If you're curious about how your internal stories shape your world and are looking for practical advice on fostering healthier relationships and reducing anxiety, this episode is a must-listen.
