The Story Teller


We all have The Story Teller within us, he/ she is called many names. The new name I'm calling mine  is 'The Story Teller'.  Let me explain about the Story Teller, it is the part of us that is our inner critic, saboteur, ego, small self and it does 4 things. It protects us, avoids, controls or makes someone right and its insidious in how it does this.

There are means to be aware of its insidious ways; here is one of the ways that has created space for  giving me awareness.  Noticing the Story you are telling yourself... about EVERYTHING! Challenge yourself, your story...How true is it REALLY? Do you know this 100% for sure? Is this 100% based on facts? or something you are making up to fit a scenario you "think" is happening?  Fear is #1 in the Story category and our unconscious fears are the biggest obstacles. What is an unconscious fear? A fear that is completely out of our awareness, we don't recognize it as fear. We are so accustomed to believing this fear and living from it we think its normal. When all along it's a fear that is unrecognizable; these are the ones that stop us from living our life in the true sense of Living. In our fears of Story telling we become stuck, insecure and unable to grow spiritually and intellectually.  We tell ourselves a story that if circumstances, situations or people makes us to feel uncomfortable (its not our script) we should avoid it. In truth,  it is the uncomfortable that is revealing to us where our work is, our unconscious fear. When I challenged my Stories by asking those questions, I was surprised in how little I actually did know.. it was something I made up about the feeling I was experiencing.

The Story Teller is not bad or negative, it can be our best teacher if we let it.  I'm learning and experiencing when I step into the uncomfortable and challenge my Story Teller. I have a sense of freedom and space, more trust in myself. Trust in my individual journey,  trust that I will know when to stay and when to walk away in my life circumstances. Being open and willing to learn from the Story I tell myself. What stories are you telling yourself? How willing are you to challenge your Story Teller?

In Times of Uncertainty

www.lisasantabarbara.com In light of our current Coronavirus crisis, the fear of uncertainty can be overwhelming and intrusive for making conscious decisions that are in our best interest. You can experience intense fear and anxiety which can be debilitating to our emotional state. This is the time to take responsibility for your own fears, using the tools, techniques and methods you’ve acquired along your life journey. Through your fear; generate your ability to exercise a sense of deep introspection. This morning I was feeling my fear running me, I was feeling my anger running me. My feelings; your feelings are not wrong they are part of us as human beings. This is a practice that I do in times of intense feelings/ emotions or anytime that I’m triggered with emotion. How to use introspection in times of intense feelings/ emotions :   1. Who is the One who can and cannot see the fear/ anger 2. Become the awareness of that One who sees, Be Awareness. 3. Observe th...

Defining Love ~ The Ending of a Relationship

Image
Today I write about a blog in consideration of what I learned about Love in my recent ending of a three year relationship.... In my own process of self-inquiry, self-reflection and taking responsibility for my own feelings, thoughts and behaviors. I have discovered amazing insight into my own unconscious beliefs about Love. The Beginning: I met him online and slowly we started to get to know one another. Not spending  much time with one another, going slow.  During this time, I listened to his experiences and words... I chose to unconsciously see him the way I wanted him to "Be" for me. In other words, I took some of what he told me...some of what I wanted to see in him and the rest I made up to fit him into the person I wanted to Believe he was. All unconsciously... up until now. Part of my story is that I always look to see the best in others; we are all intrinsically good at our core. And do to my belief I can look past others short comings, as no one is perfect. I...

Unconditional Love

Love heals all things .... All minds are joined..... All things are possible.... You are the spark of the Divine... Infinite Unlimited Being... Love at times has been a challenge for me, receiving love, feeling unconditionally loved, loving and accepting myself.  In my journey of transcending, I have come to compassion, acceptance and truly trusting and loving myself.  Seeing myself like never before, and for this I am grateful. When I think of unconditional love, my children come to mind. The deepest kind of love, a love that never wavers, a love that is difficult to put words too. I see only the love and light they truly are, even when they don't see it in themselves. No matter what they are experiencing, or going through I see only Love. I feel unconditional Love for them, through them and from them... There is nothing more powerful than this..
