After a 19-year career in financial services, Jim left a leadership position to focus on health and fitness. Jim is a Master Practitioner of Applied Movement Neurology and holds Certificates in Applied Functional Science and 3DMAPS from the Gray Institute. His passion is empowering people to help resolve the pain, tension and insomnia that prevents them from living well.

The first time I recall someone talking about “your story” was back in 2013 at Ido Portal’s Movement Camp in Singapore. One of the coaches, Jozef Frucek said, “You are your story. The story you tell yourself.”

This was one of the great lessons of that life-changing trip. Before that, I had not thought about the fact that my own internal dialogue might be limiting me.

I have since had this lesson reinforced by The Five Minute Journal, The Universe Talks (Thoughts Become Things) and others. The most entertaining example of this came from my favorite story from The Moth, Dinner at Elaine’s by George Plimpton. (It is well worth the time; George is an amazing storyteller.)

Is the story you tell yourself helping you live a fulfilling life? If not, what are you going to do to change your story?
