The writing of his secret life as a prostitute, a blogger with the pseudonym Belle de Jour was a backdrop worthy of a movie script. In fact, it became a Showtime television series. She wanted to have a meeting next chapter of her life story she wrote about it. You see that he is "a specialist Neurotoxicology respected in development and cancer epidemiology. "

Few of us lead a double life, however, surprising you wish, you can play a new role in the next chapter.

To create new episodes of his life, seeing it as a history film. That's what Donald Miller did when he wrote A Million Miles thousand years: What I learned while editing my life. Screenwriters know that in a movie of a character is what he does. Inciting incident should occur.

If you are concerned with your life why do not evoke such an incident to turn your next chapter in the adventure type of story you want for your life? That's what am undertaking, haltingly. Four friends are on this journey with me and it would be great to have you join us.

"Storytelling reveals meaning without making the mistake of defining it, "wrote Hannah Arendt, however, does not define ourselves by the means that we put on the stories we tell.

Here few steps.

1. Recognize the story of your life so far

How to improvise as well as incidents in our lives and create a narrative reflects revolving, revealing our personality and our hidden trends suggests the psychologist Dan McAdams, author of The Redemptive Self: Stories Americans live. To put it crudely, McAdams believes that there are two kinds of people.

Some see life-altering experiences such as "pollutant episodes." An emotional event Suddenly positive spoil and will be how future incidents of repetition.

Others, like Taylor view events Mali as "redemptive episodes" through which over time can redeem bad scenes, making good results in time and become better people. I feel I can do a little of both. What you?

2. Choose to put a positive spin on their stories and others closer Pull

"The excitement will follow the process of organizing central in the brain, "writes author Daniel Siegel Mindsight. How we feel about our past affects how we think about what it describes – the establishment an endless loop of repeating scenes and expectations. Seeing the patterns in our latest incidents, the choice to learn from them and rejoicing in that growth can do more, of course, to change the theme of the stories we tell others about ourselves. Pollutant Skip to redemption.

This change creates an affirmation of life triple advantage:

1. You start to live on their strengths more often.

2. People around him are encouraged by this emotional contagion, which you are helping friends of friends of your friends to see your life story in a more flexible.

3. Reflecting the strength in his account can pull others closer, and they are attracted to positive.

Positively "Integrated personal narratives are a marker important psychological health, "said Siegel.

Tell their stories in a flexible mentality also helps anchor the attitude you – and much more.

3. Storytelling creates connective tissue between us

1. As they say out stories from listeners. The stories tend to rely on others and draw in. They spark conversations, begin to establish common ground and build confidence through this exchange.

2. Stories, by their nature, are static, the action-driven and the exchange of which we can pass each other to act, to change.

3. Stories help to cultivate empathy, and PJ Manney said, encouraging others to understand the perceptions and motivations of others, including the narrator.

4. A good storyteller can reduce a complex situation to its essence, while in the coverup emotionally memorable detail. Thus, stories focus our attention.

For example, if you decide to spend the page of his life story to a new chapter, a new adventure, you're installing on a search. In describing this search as a story to others can pull them in launching their own search.

The stories are vital to building a shared understanding. They help us make sense of ourselves, each other and the kind of story we want to co-create together as we grow our relationship. The stories are that we believe in our day to bear the loss and failure to have a redemptive narrative, to enjoy our life with others.

See the stories as the oxygen in your life.

4. Go on the same in chapter following its brightest Life Story

A fun way to recognize how to tell your own story interesting is to get interested exactly what it is. Take one or two of Russell Davies' suggestions to recognize what most interests you. I modified some of them appeal to my lazy side and perhaps yours.

1. A photo taken each day and post it on Flickr or anywhere else you can see her growing collection.

2. Start a diary a sentence the newspaper.

3. Keep a scrapbook casual – paste in the things they collect and subtitles.

4. Read at least part of a magazine, book or newspaper outside his usual area of interest.

5. Interview someone for 20 minutes and observe the direction of your questions.

6. Pick something

7. Each seat in a week © cafeteria or other public place for 30 minutes or an hour and listen to conversations of others. Take note.

8. Each week write 50 words about something that stuck in his mind – a movie, construction, sculpture, singing, etc.

9. Do something and put it where you can see or give the right person.
