Monday Mantra: You Are the Storyteller of Your Life

“You are the storyteller of your life, and you can create your own legend or not.” — Isabel Allende

Reflection

Beliefs are drafts. If you keep rewriting the same limiting chapter, your narrative won’t shift. This Monday, reclaim the author’s seat. The way you talk to yourself, the actions you repeat, and the goals you choose write the next pages. What new scenes do you want to create this week?

Confidence, momentum, and identity are less about big acts and more about consistent sentences — the small decisions that, when strung together, define your arc. Let today be the moment you publish a new paragraph.

Weekly Mantra Practice

Morning: Read your mantra aloud while you make coffee.

Midday: Pause for 30 seconds and rewrite one limiting line into a promise.

Evening: Note one action that matched your new sentence.

Mantra for the week: “I write myself awake. I choose the chapters I step into.”

Journal Prompt

Which recurring thought or story about myself keeps repeating? Rewrite it as a sentence you’d proudly say to a friend.

Practical Step

Pick ONE small behavior that supports your new story (e.g., say “no” twice this week, pitch an idea, finish one important page in your planner). Schedule the behavior in your planner so it becomes an act, not an idea.
