Does the story you're telling pay you a dividend or is it charging you interest? Stories are your magic. However, there are a couple of things that can be going on here. Are the stories that are going through your mind the stories that you tell people? Are they charging you interest? What does that mean? A few things can be happening. What does that inner chatter say about you? Has it created this narrative voice that is always resisting and creating resistance in your life? 

Here is a very mundane example and I've seen it happen. Children who touch a stove. We're all told the stove is hot so don't touch it. What does a two-year-old know about this? Nothing. Until we have the experience and feel it in our physical bodies, it's a foreign concept. What do you mean by hot? We're trying to always keep our children safe. We touch the stove because we want to experience it and in a few seconds the brain says, oh that's hot, it hurts, there's pain. The skin starts to have a response to touching that hotness. There's a lot more going on though. 

The physical body is moving through this process but it's the outside environment. For example, one mom freaks out and starts screaming angrily, "I told you not to do that!" and creates this environment of anger. That's scenario number one. Scenario number two, mom's nervous, she's anxious, she starts to cry, she's like, "I have to get you to the hospital, I'm so scared" and then there are all kinds of fear, anxiety, and nervousness there. Scenario number three, there's no one there to help you feel the pain. You feel all alone, abandoned in the situation, and you have no idea what to do. All three of those were caused by the hand on the stove. That's what caused all this. 

Curiosity isn't a bad thing, however, the actual problem that gets placed into the mind is what goes on in our environment. These three different children end up relating hot experiences. One goes to anger, one goes to anxiety and fear, and the other one goes to feeling abandonment. That internal conversation is that, ah this is a hot situation and there's anxiety and worry all of a sudden, or there's fear and that fear creates an absolute freeze moment, or there's anger and it's like I'm going to fight this. The narrative inside the head operates that way. The abandoned person says, I'm just going to faint and leave it because I don't know what to do. I can't take any action because I'm not equipped. All of these things go on and create this narrative. 

Watch what your inner chatter is saying about you. Your physical body is going to leave you clues as to what that emotion was based on. Maybe you've got some knee pain, maybe you have dandruff, maybe you have some skin issues, maybe you're walking through cardiovascular issues, or maybe something is going on with the lungs. The physical body provides us with clues. Look at how to heal your body, go into the deeper aspects. What are the clues that your physical body is providing you? Once you figure that out, then you can go backward and reverse engineer this. Is this story charging interest? It is charging you interest because mentally, there's a narrative there and then physically, there's something going on and that is the interest. 

I would like you to dive deep into, what is the emotion that is charging the interest? Now, where do we want to get to? Does the story pay you a dividend? What do I mean by that? How does this story provide you with an enormous amount of wisdom and how are you representing that wisdom in the world? 

I use human design in all of my coachings because I want to get to that open area. When we're talking about this subject, I want to go in there and I want to get you to extrapolate out of there what is the interest that this is charging me and how can I create a dividend out of this? What's defined in you that is what you're modeling to the world? However, it is the experience of the environment that will either charge you interest or pay you a dividend. That's how this operates. 

I want you to extrapolate the wisdom of every experience, and to understand that support in processes such as this is so important. If you don't reach out to me for support, reach out to someone else. I need you to begin to notice these things. The story holding you back from that is how you are charged interest. 

Today's homework is going to be asking yourself, what am I willing and able to notice about whatever the experience was in the past? We think that the problem is one thing but the problem always has a deeper cause to it. We think that we know what the problem is, the fear for example in scenario number two that I used of the child. There is anxiety and fear there and we think that that's the problem but the actual cause of it was touching the stove. How do we go back to that cause and reverse engineer so that it can pay you a dividend instead of charging you interest with a body that is not well and a mind that is not well? That is how we take the subconscious mind from being a foe and we move it into being an ally.
