About this episode
Have you ever looked back on something that happened years ago and realized you see it differently today?
In this episode of The Resilient Author, we explore the difference between what happened in our lives and what those experiences mean to us now.
I'll also share how I'm exploring these questions while writing my third book, Sober 3000: Think Eight Years Ahead. Live One Day at a Time.
In this episode:
• Why our understanding of past experiences changes over time
• The difference between telling what happened and exploring what it meant
• How speaking through memories can help us discover new perspectives
• A simple exercise to explore the deeper meaning of your own story
Your practice: Choose one memory and record yourself talking about what happened, how it affected you, and what you understand about it today.
Start with this question:
"What do I understand about this experience today that I didn't understand back then?"
