Today I'm going to share with you the tool of asking yourself "Am I making it up? Or is it true?"
In the beginning of my fearless journey I asked myself this several times a day. I questioned every belief I had about myself, others, and things around me. I even questioned the statements I would make all the time as simple as "I don't like fish.", to "I love my husband and want our marriage to work." I allowed it to open my eyes to what the stories were and where the truth was. I discovered that I am a great story teller and I believed a lot of things that were not true. I had made several things up to protect myself and to blame others for my state of life.
What are you making up? What "truths" are you holding on to, that just are not true? What could happen if you were willing to let go of the lies? What would happen if you too questioned everything you said to yourself and the stories you told others? What if that negative record you played in your head over and over again was swiped clean, and the only things that were really true were allowed back on?
I know for me, I could say it saved my life. But it did more than that because it gave me a better life, a fuller life, and a life where I can do so much more and be so much more than I ever imagined. I have a life now where I no longer live small.
Who wants to break out of their shell of limitations? Great! Let's Hatch!

Kelly, I love this. Asking yourself if it is true is so powerful. I too make things up to avoid accountability for my choices. Great blog. I look forward to following your posts. :)
