Can you feel integrated, strong, not stuck? Make a system say yes! Say yes! Say yes! Now let's face down, shake your body out, and close your eyes. Let's integrate this in another way. What I want you to do now is, I'm going to give you a homework assignment, but we're going to experience it first, and you can write it later on or make a video of it later on, post on Facebook if you like. But for right now, all I want you to think about is our lives are controlled by our beliefs, our beliefs that we've told ourselves over and over again, sometimes come together to form a story. And if we have limitations, it's a story of limitations stopping us. It's not our God-given ability that's shut down. It's just a belief. A belief is nothing but a feeling of certainty about something. How many of you can think of a belief that you had years ago that you would have fought for, that a year, a decade, two decades later, you're almost embarrassed you believe that crap? Raise your hand if you have something you used to believe enough bullshit. So maybe it's time to see what our old story is and create maybe a new story for our lives. So here's what I want you to do. Close your eyes. And with your eyes closed, I want you to think about what has been your old story. It was a story about a person that struggled with what, that wanted what, desired what, but was frustrated or stopped by what? Story of what was the role you played in the story? Were you the pawn? Were you the victim? Were you the victor? Were you the comedian? Were you the pleaser? Were you the sad one, the happy one? What was the old story of your life when you're frustrated at times and you didn't push through? What would you tell yourself about life, about yourself? What did you believe in your old story? In the old story, when you were limited at various times in your relationship or in your finances or because of all the things that have happened to you, what if you had a new belief that life doesn't happen to us, it always happens for us? Can you think of something that happened a decade or two ago, years ago, that was so horrible you'd never want to experience it again, but then years later you look back on it and go, I'd never want to experience it again, but I'm grateful I did. I see the universe's power because it made me more grateful, it made me stronger, it made me care more. How many of you had an experience like that? If you have, make some noise if you know what I'm talking about. What if your new belief is life is always happening for me? It's hard to find it sometimes, but if I keep looking, I will find there's a gift in this. But go to your old story first. Your old story was, I can't do it because who's in the way, what's in the way, what emotions did your old story have? Was it frustration? Was it sadness? Was it overwhelm? Was it depression? Was it stress? Was it anger? So my old story was about a person that wanted what but felt what and was frustrated by what and was stopped by what and played what role? Was I a victim? Was I paddling water? Was I surviving? Was I succeeding? Was I going? What was the primary emotion? What was the primary role you played? What were the primary beliefs that kept you there? And your old story. Now that's an old story. What if you were the writer, director, and producer of your own life? You get to write the new story. You won't get a new story unless you create it. Remember I said, we're stressed because we're managing, managing our old story. It's time to create a new one. Make your move. Make your move. Make your move. Make the sound of your warrior as loud as you can. Make the warrior sound. Make your lover sound. Make your sovereign sound. Say yes! Say yes! Say yes! Say yes! Now let's create your new story. Say my new story is from a different state. My new story is about a person that wants what? A person that will never give up what? A person who pushes through what? A person who accomplishes what? A person who believes what? Life's for me. It's always happening for me, not to me. A person that finds a way. A person who will not give up. A person who makes it to the other side. A person who filled with love or joy. What emotions does your new story pull up? Is it love? Is it excitement? Is it determination? Is it passion? Is there love? Is there laughter? Is there more fun? What's your new story? You got to write the story of your life going from this point forward. It's about somebody who wants what now and is gonna accomplish what? Who's gonna feel what? What's your new role? Not victim, not pawn, not at the effect. Doer, maker, shaper, creator, lover. Chiefly, softly, warrior, what's your new rules? Maybe you have multiple of them in this new story of your life. And ultimately, what does your new story become? Say it out loud now, say my new story is, life is about this, it's about a person that I'm gonna be this, I create this, I live like this, I feel these feelings, I play these roles, I believe these beliefs, and here's what I'm gonna accomplish, here's what I'm gonna feel, here's what I'm gonna experience, here's what I give. Just out loud, say your new story. My new story is, shout out, my new story is, just go on a rant, it doesn't need to make sense. Go on a rant. My new story is about life is love or joy. My new story is, I don't settle. My new story is, I break through. My new story is, I achieve it all. My new story is a love story, a comedy, an adventure. What will your new story be? Is it a comedy, an adventure, an epic? What is your new story? What was your old story? Now, if you love your new story, make some noise so I know you got something that moves you in the right direction. Great, now let's flip it. Real fast, we're gonna flip it. I'm gonna have you start out, my old story is, with your old state. My old story is, you're gonna exaggerate about a person who was frustrated with this and couldn't achieve this and all this happened to them and they felt overwhelmed and all these things. They gave up and then we're gonna go, man, my new story is, and tell your new story. Ready? Start with the old story in a lousy state and snap into a good state and tell me a new story. Out loud, are you ready? One, two, three, go. My old story was, go ahead. My old story was... I was so dealt with this, couldn't get it done, I was pissed off, I was sad, I was frustrated, couldn't make the placement, couldn't get the econ, couldn't make this, couldn't that, I felt this, I felt that, this life was this and life was that, I felt the effect of it, I played these roles and everything else. Okay, snap out of it! Make a change in your body, radical! What's your new story, God? My new story is, go shut off your new story! My new story is about this, I'm gonna accomplish this, I'm gonna make this happen, I'm gonna create this. Go forward, that's it, that's it, that's it. What are the new emotions, 1, 2, 3, new emotions to your new story. Is it love? Is it passion? Is it gratitude? Is it determination? Is it confidence? Is it playfulness? What are some of the new emotions of your new story? One of the best ones that'll change your life, ladies and gentlemen. Here we go. And now, take it to a peak and celebrate like a little kid like it's the greatest story of your life, and you own it. One, two, three, go! Make it go! Music.
Wow—that’s a full-on, high-energy guided “story transformation” exercise! I can help you break it down so you can actually use it to rewrite your story and internalize it, rather than just listening or reading it. Here’s a clear, step-by-step way to do it:
1. Ground Yourself & Integrate
Stand up, shake out your body, move your limbs, jump a little, breathe deeply.
Say “YES!” out loud a few times. Let your body feel alive and strong.
Close your eyes and feel your energy in your body. This is your foundation.
2. Identify Your Old Story
Think about your past beliefs that limited you. Ask yourself:
What did I want but couldn’t get?
Who or what blocked me?
What role did I play—victim, survivor, pleaser, clown?
What emotions dominated—frustration, sadness, anger, fear?
What beliefs kept me stuck?
Example prompt:
“My old story was about wanting success but feeling overwhelmed and frustrated. I often gave up because I believed life was happening to me, not for me. I was the victim. My emotions were anger and sadness.”
3. Flip the Perspective
Recognize that life is always happening for you, even the painful stuff.
Think of a difficult moment from years ago that, in hindsight, helped you grow.
Ask: What gift did it bring me? How did it make me stronger?
Example prompt:
“That failure taught me resilience. I’m grateful it happened because it made me wiser.”
4. Create Your New Story
Now you are the writer, director, and producer of your life. Decide:
Who is your new “self” in this story?
What do you want now?
What will you never give up on?
What challenges will you push through?
What beliefs guide you now?
What emotions will your life feel like—love, joy, passion, determination?
What roles will you play—creator, warrior, lover, leader, adventurer?
Example prompt:
“My new story is about a person who creates opportunities, pushes through challenges, stays loving and joyful, and believes that life is always happening for me. I am the creator, the adventurer, and the warrior. I will accomplish my dreams and inspire others along the way.”
5. Embody It Physically
Snap your body into a new posture—stand tall, shoulders back, chest open.
Make a sound—warrior roar, joyful laugh, triumphant shout.
Say your new story out loud with energy.
Feel the new emotions fully: confidence, joy, excitement, determination.
6. Celebrate & Cement
Give yourself a little peak-moment celebration. Jump, dance, cheer.
Internalize that this is your new story now.
Whenever old patterns creep in, repeat this exercise to snap back to your empowered state.
💡 Extra Tip: You can record yourself speaking your new story on your phone. Watching or listening to it reinforces the shift in your beliefs—your brain literally rewires through repeated exposure.
