😲 This One Phrase Was Draining My Energy Every Day

What Story Are You Telling Yourself?

We’re all telling ourselves a story
The only question is… are you choosing it on purpose?

You’ve probably heard of affirmations or incantations
These two tools have been life-changing for me

A few years ago, I was in a mastermind room
About 10 minutes into my turn, a friend, Martha, stopped me and said:

“Adrian, what story are you telling yourself? You’ve said, ‘I’m tired’ 8 times already.”

She was right
And that one moment of feedback changed my life

I started being intentional with my language
And just like that… I had more energy
Not because I slept more
Because I stopped dragging myself down with my words

We talked about this a lot during the Hike With Adrian Experience
🗓 And we’ll go deep on it again September 14 in Georgia

One of the questions that came up:
What’s the difference between affirmations and incantations?
That’s easier to explain by video than email
🎥 Watch this quick breakdown here

Here’s the deal…
What you say over and over, you start to believe
Positive or negative.
Belief becomes behavior.
Behavior becomes life.

That’s why I start my day with affirmations
People say “That sounds like a lot to do every morning”
But the truth?
The cost of not doing it is way higher

Quick story…

Last week I was messaging with someone on LinkedIn
She said she bought a course from a “guru” and it was awful
Now she refuses to pay for education again
She told me multiple times in that one message:
“I don’t spend money on education.”

But she also said she felt stuck
You see the problem, right?

I encouraged her to look at what story she was telling
And how to change it

I’ve spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on my education
Not every course was great
But I still got a return
Because I chose to learn something from every situation

Even when it wasn’t what I expected

(See how I rewrote the story?)

Now here’s a fun one…

I recently posted about manifesting no rain during a hike 😄
It worked… but I forgot to account for hail ❄️
FL boy mistake. Lol

Someone commented:

It’s better to manifest what you DO want, not what you DON’T want

🔥 What a great reminder

Alright… now it’s your turn
What story are you telling yourself today?

Is it pulling you closer to your dreams
Or pushing you further away?

And if you’re really up for it
Ask someone close to you what story they think you’re telling

Here’s the hard part:
Don’t argue
Just listen
Say thank you
Then reflect

I’d love to hear what you discover and how I can be helpful, message me and let me know.
