41. Honoring our Stories by Reframing what They Mean with Jane Cebrynski

See The Upside - Overcoming Obstacles and Doing Life a Little Better Everyday

We each have a story, and part of our story may be difficult to talk about, accept or even think about. But what do our stories really mean? How do they play a role in who we are and how they define us? What if we don't like our stories? How can we view them differently so that our stories work FOR us, so they lift us up, drive us forward and inspire us to be the best version of ourselves?
In this interview with Jane Cebrynski, we get honest and real about hard stories and how to not only accept them, but leverage them. Jane is a Chief Well Being Officer with Champion Well Being, an organization that focuses on living life like athletes play sports - brilliant! The intention is to always be striving for better, to have a champion mindset, to let losses and obstacles serve as opportunities and to be in continual training.
In the interview we cover:

• Living your life like an athlete trains for their sport
• How you can apply a champion mind set to your life
• How covid affected the athletic world, and how we can apply their adaptability strategies
• The importance of believing something is possible
• How to build resilience and positivity in the hard moments
• Why losses are even more important than the wins
• How to not stay stuck, focus on the lesson and being able to let go and move on
• Why we sometimes identify with our hard stories in unhealthy ways
• What to do when an emotional “injury” comes up in life, how to reengage and why we need time to heal before we get back to our optimum pace of life
• Why the best athletes are looking for constant improvement and how and why this is important in life
• How growth can be an fun, an adventure and how it changes the growth experience
• How shame can hold us back from growth
• Why the ending of some friendships after divorce is ok
• Why acknowledging our stories allows us to heal
• Why our brains want to make up stories about what other people are thinking and why it’s a huge waste of time
• How to share your story openly, authentically, honestly in a healthy way.
• The question to ask before sharing your story

I had a very hard divorce story and really struggled personally with a lot of heaviness around it. What I realized is that we CHOOSE how to view our story. We can proactively create healing around our story and reframe what it means. It takes time, intention, personal awareness, and willingness to do the work. It's not easy, but I can tell you, it's worth every moment. Take a listen to this episode and get more clarity around where you're at with your story. You might have some simple shifts you could make that could lighten that load.
