Storytelling leads to self-awareness & self-discovery. Yet there is no hurry to tell our stories to the world till we are ready. If there are uncomfortable parts, write them in a personal diary. We go through 5 stages of life before we are ready to share our story with the world without feeling uncomfortable:- 1) Finding your story- Understanding & connecting dots of life to find your gift / deep passion. The journey begins. You find your essence/ core. 2) Reconciliation- Acceptance or coming to terms with our story & seeing villains as lessons. Leads to acceptance & inner peace. 3) Sensemaking - Resolving inner conflicts & finding deeper meaning. You find answers to "Why me?" Your story makes sense to you. 4) Healing-Healing our baggage & emotional wounds. Letting go of the past. Preparing to embrace our future. 5) Self-awareness-Finding your voice, identity and inner confidence. Deeper understanding of who you are. Which experiences have shaped you?
