If you\u2019re feeling stuck, it might be time to improve your life script. First, just what is a life script and why does it have so much impact? Here\u2019s a general way to look at a life script.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building Your Life Script<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever felt like you were living between hard boundaries, making it feel impossible to experience great positive shifts, limiting yourself to the same routines? If so, you might be adhering to a script. Beautiful Truth shares that a life script or storytelling is part of how we navigate the world. \u201cStorytelling occurs at our most basic experience of navigating the world. But most of the time, we aren\u2019t even aware of ourselves doing it.\u201d1<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, \u201cAnd here is the most exciting part. In realising how prone we are to tell stories, and more importantly \u2013 to believe them \u2013 we are able to create new ones. And when we change the stories we tell ourselves, we can change the way we see the world and ourselves within it. \u201c1<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generally, by the time you\u2019re seven-years-old, your life script is set. In addition to being made at the unconscious level, this script can play out<\/em> seemingly to your conscious unawareness. Should this happen, you could be attracted to people who struggle with anger, lack of confidence, workaholism or gambling. But not only would you be attracted to a specific \u201ctype\u201d of person, you might not know why<\/em> you\u2019re attracted to those types of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who\u2019s Part of Your Life Script<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Also, as with many unconscious scripts, your life story consists of habits, statements, beliefs, etc. that you saw those around you engaging in, particularly people who you were close to as a child. Without meaning to, you could create a life story that causes you to mirror a parent, uncle, coach, etc. All by itself, this proves that you do have impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only have other people helped to make your life script<\/a>, but right now you\u2019re saying, believing and doing things that are helping to make someone else\u2019s \u201cstory\u201d. For example, if you curse and bang furniture whenever your laptop is slow and you have to wait for a webpage to load while your manager is waiting for you to send her a file, your niece could learn to react that way when she\u2019s feeling stress and waiting for something, after she becomes a woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, you can rewrite your life script. Psychology Today<\/em> shares a story about a young girl who had been bullied while teachers seemed either not to notice or chose not to respond.2<\/sup> The girl\u2019s mother helped her to step into her power, even calling teachers and those involved herself, refusing to ignore what her daughter had shared with her. Those choices helped to change the girl\u2019s script, also referred to as \u201cstory\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve Your Life Story<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the Psychology Today<\/em> article, it’s shared that, \u201cWe are the stories we tell\u2014and we are compelled to create stories to understand ourselves.\u201d Inner Self3<\/sup> and Bestselfology4<\/sup> offer suggestions on actions you could take to change your \u201cstory\u201d or your life script. (See below link in our \u201cResources\u201d section.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
