Reframing our internal narrative

I’m bad with time

I’m learning the skills of planning, following through, delegating, and prioritizing my attention.
(outer work)

I’m learning the skills of detaching my self-worth from how much I get done, redefining what productivity means to me, and working with and not against my limitations.
(inner work)

I’m bad with money

I’m learning the skills of budgeting, investing, saving, negotiating, and managing bills.
(outer work)

I’m learning the skills of uncoupling self-validation from money, removing the emotional quality in numbers, and taking ownership of my money decisions.
(inner work)

I’m bad at relationships

I’m learning the skills of communicating, setting and enforcing boundaries, leveling expectations, and resolving conflict.
(outer work)

I’m learning the skills of allowing and receiving love, empathizing with others, regulating my emotions when triggered, and holding myself with self-compassion.
(inner work)

For a long time, my story was “I’m bad at social media.”

Then I got sick of myself telling myself I was bad at it and started (and still am) learning...

• Instagram’s functions and features and how content marketing works (outer work)

• how to create safety for myself to be visible and share from my heart and what ‘showing up’ looks like for my energy (inner work)

Where in your life are you spending energy repeating a story instead of learning a skillset?

What might open up for you if you dropped the story and picked up a new skill?
