Change Your Story, Change Your Life: Rewrite the Past and Live an Empowered Now!. Beatrice Elliott
will take place. By reading the stories first, you will get a good feel of the positive voices that you will want to incorporate into your own personal parable.
In the part of the book, Now It’s Your Turn, the questionnaire will ask you thought provoking questions that will bring up past incidents that are ripe for reworking. These incidents can be from your childhood or any part of your past that you would like to revisit and to rewrite. Find a quiet space that is free of distractions and where you can be alone. I would suggest stopping here, but if you feel like you are on a roll, move into the Writing Your Own Personal Parable section and begin rewriting your story. You will probably revise your story several times. This is a loving process, so be gentle with yourself. It will take as long as it takes. Journal your dreams after writing your story, as many insights can appear. Observe your life situations in the six months after writing your story and note what changes are taking place. I suggest sharing your story with a loved one, and be sure you let the person know up front if you want feedback or for them just to listen. Share your story with children; they are so attuned to stories, and to think that this is your true story just makes you that much more real to them. It also gives them permission to share incidents that are currently going on in their lives. I hope that your family can begin to share their personal stories with each other at family gatherings; think of the small talk that will be replaced with transformative dialogue. Have fun making covers for your stories and keeping them as a family memoir to be passed on from generation to generation. Now good healthy perceptions can be passed on rather than the old limiting beliefs.
My wish for you is to enjoy this process, to gain a new life enhancing perspective of the true you, and to have your life attract all that you know it so richly deserves. Of course, being an educator, I want you to also remember to share your story with a child; you are remembering your past, while they are actively living it in the present. Let’s all rewrite our stories so our children can live a healthier NOW.
Meet the Power Posse – Jasper & Zephyr
In the stories that you are about to read in the following chapters, I’ve created a dynamic duo to journey back with the main character in each story. They are the “Power Posse” for the central character and will be there to cheer her/him and to empower her/him with new and more effective choices. The characters utilized are a talking bird, Jasper the Joybird, and his best friend, Zephyr the Wind. I’ve pondered why I chose a bird and wind for my stories, and then upon closer examination discovered that they are in fact perfect metaphors for these healing stories. Zephyr symbolizes the unseen Wisdom that is always present in each of us and Jasper is the manifestation of the Joy we can see when we are aligned and acting from this Source.
