Derren Brown quote! Stories, symbols and metaphors are part of every culture on earth! Native americans, Egyptian, Fairytales *Ugly Duckling (self esteem) *The Tortoise and the Hare (overconfidence) Facts without the story lack power! A man and his son have an argument. The son runs away. Some time later the son returns. Prodigal Son FAVORITE STORIES (The Gunslinger, Lord of the Rings) The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed. The Greatest stories are about overcoming challenges! Stories will engage the emotions and make the stories hypnotic Stories can convey transformation! “Which reminds me of a patient I once had…” – Milton H. Erickson A LOT OF STORIES CONTAIN METAPHORS! Definition of Metaphor Famous Metaphors 1. Blanket of snow: 2. Better half: 3. Slippery slope: 4. Roller coaster of emotions: 5. Late bloomer: 6. Beating a dead horse: 7. Heart of stone: 8. Couch potato: 9. Melting pot 10. Black sheep Create Imagery Evoke Thought and Emotion Stories enchant us; they motivate us, but most of all, they define us Deep within us, we all have a story, an unseen narrative that unfolds in our minds and anchors us to where we are today. Do the things I say to myself make me feel “empowered” or “disenfranchised”? What is the underlying metaphor of my current overriding emotion? 3. Is what I am saying to myself actually valid, or true? Another way to look at this is to ask yourself, is the opposite to what I say also true? 4. Do I have a positive personal experience, or an example of someone in my life who embodies characteristics of a roadmap to a more positive narrative? 5. Do you have the perseverance to transform “states” into “traits”? NEXT EPISODE: The Power of Stories, Part 2 Change your thinking, change your life! Laugh hard, run fast, be kind. David R.
