We are our own worse storytellers.

Our minds will tell us tales about what ifs generating fear about negative results.

But when you take those what ifs and turn those stories into positive results.

Anything becomes possible.

@Ayotheauthor This poses the question - why are you trading the narrative?

Is it to be more authentic or benefit yourself? Or is it because you see change as a means of escaping and coping?

[Jessica Frayne @JessicaFrayne]

Don't see curiosity as a childish quality.

See it as a growth mindset quality.

[Jessica Frayne @JessicaFrayne]

@theWordWitchh No one can resist a good story about a journey!

[Jessica Frayne @JessicaFrayne]

You want to tell a story but you are struggling to identify moments you've transformed?

First times.

First-time experiences always result in transformation or growth.

Reflect on your first times and you're bound to find inspiration.

[Jessica Frayne @JessicaFrayne]

Short? Yes.
Post Apocalyptic? Yes

I'm writing a science fiction novella. There is a plot point I had been stuck on since I started.

Yesterday I solved it.

Rather than picking at the sore point, I thought about aspects of the story I was happy with. The rest just fell into place.

In lead climbing, you climb above your rope's anchor point. Every inch you climb above that point will be the distance you fall.

It's terrifying.

But sometimes it's better to let go and know you are going to fall rather than to hold on, slipping and injuring yourself.

[Jessica Frayne @JessicaFrayne]

When you approach the world with a negative attitude it will be reflected back onto you.

You will always find what you are looking for in the narrative.

Consumption doesn't make you unique as an individual or a content creator:

Your perception on experiences do.

We're surrounded by what I call "pocket dimensions".

Niche interests and hobbies with deep complexities.

Take fountain pens.
It's not just about the pen.

Are you writing or illustrating?
Ink?
Paper?

The world is full of neverending dimensions if you are prepared to look.

[Jessica Frayne @JessicaFrayne]

@savuuemanuel Yeah even if those thoughts are trying to be creative you are building your brain "walls". Sometime it's best to just let go.

[Jessica Frayne @JessicaFrayne]

@thewritelegacy Yes!

Sometimes thinking : "This seems like a terrible idea." but being able to go "Fuck it. what's the worse that can happen?" is the beginning of a transformation

[Jessica Frayne @JessicaFrayne]

@thewritelegacy The human condition right?

[Jessica Frayne @JessicaFrayne]

@pialeichter This made me laugh out loud but it is beautiful at the same time.

I've begun practicing stopping and consciously taking in moments. Attempting to cement slices in time in my mind.

[Jessica Frayne @JessicaFrayne]

@thewritelegacy Neither really. I am not a huge fan of mint in general.

You do you.

[Jessica Frayne @JessicaFrayne]

@thewritelegacy Collaboration.

In order to succeed within the context of our complex minds, weak young and creativity. To be able to share meaning and experience - and pass on that knowledge in order to increase the probability of success.

[Jessica Frayne @JessicaFrayne]

@Ayotheauthor This really goes for anything.

People underestimate how many other people are very average if not bad at their jobs yet do okay for themselves. Being competent gets your more success relatively easily.

[Jessica Frayne @JessicaFrayne]

@thewritelegacy One of those sneaky curve balls.

That's a lot of suck and very sorry to hear - especially happening climbing. Hope you have a quick recovery and I am sure you will make something amazing happen despite the circumstances.

[Jessica Frayne @JessicaFrayne]

@leadoeslinkedin You've taken action before you had time for the reptile brain to kick in. Good job.

[Jessica Frayne @JessicaFrayne]

Critical thinking has uses beyond "fact-checking".

Questioning your own narratives and set of beliefs is a healthy form of introspection. It builds an understanding of where and why you have your unique perspective.

And your perspective is how you experience the world.
