Summary
StoryJacking: Change Your Inner Dialogue, Transform Your Life by Lyssa Danehy deHart.
I found it interesting when she talked about what happens when you are angry and it hijacks your brain. It releases a chemical that increases your reactivity and decreases your ability to process information in a useful way. I have seen this happen but I didn’t realize there was a chemical that was causing. Distraction is a technique that is very useful in dealing with this.
Another insightful point she made was that our yesterday self already made all the decision that got us to where we are today. Our today self is making decision for our tomorrow self. Her purpose of the book is to help us understand our internal process, develop self awareness and actions so our today self makes a better tomorrow environment.
I have been fascinated by neuroplasticity (the fact our brains can and do change). No matter what has happened in our past our brains can change and we can develop new ways of thinking which can change how we act and approach things.
Seven Steps to StoryJacking:
Develop an awareness. She shares an assessment and books to help you determine your strengths.
Get curious about your relationship to your stories
Create a new vision or goal
Be courageous
Navigate the plot twists
Write a new story
Two main points that she shares from real examples is that if we employ a mental practice and a mindset, we can create significant changes.
You are the only one that is capable of determining your value. She shares a great visual to control+alt+delete anyone’s opinion of you that does not align with your opinion of you.
You should focus on what you can control and not on what you cannot control.
Each time you face your fears you are building up your courage muscle.
We have all heard that is takes 21 days to form a new habit. She shares that some habits are harder. She challenges us to think of a small step in a new habit we would like to start. For example do one push up or sit up to start a new habit.
I highly recommend this book. She shares actionable steps to help you reframe your thought process. We have the power to change our brain. It is simple but not easy.
