Monday Motivation-Shift The Narrative

Good morning, cadres fear. Good morning. Happy Monday to you and yours. We'll give it a second while people join. Hopefully everybody had a wonderful weekend. Hope, maybe rest, relaxation. Maybe you're able to catch some Cadre, some live streams or watch some pre recorded content on the app on the platform. It's always a great day when that happens. Our weekend contributors with self care and self care Saturday and with Lennox and recovery and serenity. Sundays are just absolutely, utterly amazing.

So I hope everybody had a wonderful, wonderful weekend. It was one of those weekends at the Wentland house where it was like catch up, which was good. A lot going on. Good morning. Good morning, Cindy, joy. Good morning, Ed, Jules. Good morning, Amy. Good morning. Good morning. Hope everybody had a wonderful weekend. Believe it or not, I'm just wrapping up a cup of coffee. Just having a cup of coffee with JC. So it's a phenomenal morning here. Chit chatting with JC. Good morning. Look at, oh my gosh.

Steph Erwin. Oh my gosh. My newfie lover, sue. She is the best from out in Vermont. Hope everybody is having a phenomenal, phenomenal day. Start to the Monday. So my title today, on Monday, motivation is change the narrative. What does that mean? What does that mean? It seems today we want to put a label on absolutely everything, right? We want to put a label on anything. Am I anxious? Am I excited? Am I a victim? Am I a victor? Is that individual a narcissist? Is that person gaslighting? Is it, is it, is it?

And we want to label literally everything. And I want you to change the narrative of something today. Something will happen to you today. I guarantee it. It could be a relationship with a colleague, a conflict with a colleague. It could be something that's happening internally at your own home. Something will happen to you today. It might be going to the post office and having a little conflict with the person that's running like something will happen and I want you to change the narrative today.

Are you ready? Instead of labeling it, this is all I want you to say. It happened to me. Well, this, this happened to me. This happened to me and this happened to me and I felt blank. This happened to me and had a great week with my daughter, her husband at a 20 month grant. Oh, what a weekend, Sue. I love it. Oh, that sounds like the perfect weekend. Okay, so if you didn't have a weekend like that, sue, if you didn't have a weekend like that, good morning, Doctor Leslie. Oh, she's the best. So if you didn't have a weekend like that and maybe something was conflicting, or maybe something didn't go right in your life and you're trying to label it.

I had blank. I had. I had. I had. I just want you to change this once and see how it feels. This happened to me and I felt. This happened to me and I felt, and I want you to take the power back, that you're able to label your feelings and not have to topic every situation in your life, because when you do that, I think you bring the energy back to yourself to make the appropriate changes. So, again, something happens today. This happened to me, and I felt. Journal it. Write it down. This happened to me and I felt.

And we're moving on. We're moving on from that situation. I had a conflict this happened to me and I felt. I had a conflict with my coworker today, and I felt minimized. I'm not gonna label them a narcissist. I'm not going to go into a victim mentality. I'm not gonna do any of that. I'm literally just gonna say, this happened to me, and I felt blank. You might not even have to add ands. You might not even have to add, buts you might not have to any of it. You can say how you feel, and we're going to move on.

And I want you to then shift the narrative the rest of the day to see how that goes for you. My son struggled at school. He's having. He's in summer school. I'm just using example. My son's in summer school. He's struggling at school. He's having a hard time getting up out of bed in order to go to school. And I'm struggling with the whole situation. My son was late to school. This is the situation that happened to me, and I felt frustrated that he was not able to get to school on time. Checkbox done.

Onto the next thing of life. So I want to encourage you to be careful of our labeling world we live in. Be careful of our labeling world we live in. And actually flip it more to the feelings that you're feeling. Okay, that's beautiful, sue. My narrative is to try to be positive. Fantastic, right. But I think it's also good to flip the positive mentality with the situation. So add the situation, your action, and your response. Sar mentality, situation, action, response, and if you can change that to, it happened to me, and I felt blank.

I think you're going to see some things change. So that's mine today. Change the narrative. Flip the script. Change it for you. Change it to the feeling you're feeling. Have a wonderful week. Be good to one another. Doctor Leslie, I will see you tomorrow. I cannot wait. I love your noon talk. It makes my day. Have a wonderful, wonderful week. You guys. Lift each other up, change the narrative. Make it a wonderful week. Bye bye, you guys. Thank you so much. Bye.
