Healthy Mind Choose Your Story, Change Your Life With Bestselling Author Kindra Hall Amy Morin, LCSW Verywell Mind Editor-in-Chief On today's episode, I talk with Kindra Hall, an award-winning storyteller and author of "Choose Your Story, Change Your Life." She teaches companies how to sell their products through storytelling, and teaches people how to improve their lives by shifting their narrative. Why Kindra Hall Is Mentally Strong Kindra shares many other people's stories. She's talked to a variety of entrepreneurs, athletes, and professionals about the stories they tell themselves. But, she's also very open about her own stories. She uses social media to tell stories that resonate with her audience–even when she's made a mistake or when she learned a valuable life lesson the hard way.   We're not going back to try to pretend that that didn't happen, but we can choose how we see that story." — Kindra Hall   What You'll Hear on the Show How we develop the stories we tell ourselves Why some of our stories don't serve us well How to look at the same story from a different perspective Why choosing a different version of the story might change your life The stories Kindra has chosen and how they've changed her life Steps you can take to start telling yourself a different version of the story How to learn from other people's stories How our past stories can dictate the future What procrastination can teach you about the stories you tell yourself How to proactively start telling yourself helpful stories   Anytime you're procrastinating, there are probably some stories there that are keeping you from taking action." — Kindra Hall   What You'll Learn About Mental Health and Mental Strength Our internal dialogue plays a huge role in our mental health. And our mental health affects our internal dialogue. Dwelling on the negative can increase your risk of psychological problems. But, psychological problems also increase the chances that you'll dwell on the negative. Fortunately, everyone can choose to work on improving their self-talk. When you do, your mental health might improve. Therapists often help people choose different stories they tell themselves. They help people see themselves, other people, and the world in a different light. Sometimes, choosing different stories helps people develop the mental strength they need to feel their best.   As we behave, we're doing it with these stories in mind, whether we know it or not. And so these stories can either move you forward or keep you where you are in some place, bring you backwards." — Kindra Hall   LISTEN NOW Follow: Apple Podcasts / Spotify / Google Podcasts / RSS READ THESE NEXT Why Storytelling Is Good for Your Mental Health READ NOW  › How to Be a Better Storyteller When You Are Socially Anxious READ NOW  › The Powerful Effects of Storytelling READ NOW  › You are receiving this newsletter because you subscribed to the Healthy Mind newsletter.
