Stories and Masks - You are Not Who You Think You Are

We're great at telling stories - in ancient times that was how knowledge was passed down the generations. But that is not what this episode is about! It's about how great we are at telling stories about ourselves... and believing them!

These stories create the masks that enable us flexibly move through our everyday lives - or do they? Because they only make our lives more difficult by further distancing us from an experience of the reality of the moment, the here and now where real life is actually happening.

If real life is happening now, the real you had better turn up. But this is where the biggest mask of all stops us in our tracks. It's a mask we don't think of as a mask at all... we think it is really us. And that is what is holding you back - that is what is getting in your own way - who you think you are.

This episode is about discovering who you really are. It is about engaging with and experiencing the real world in the here and now. It is about letting go of the thoughts that hold you back. It is about starting to live your life your way right now.

To Succeed... Just Let Go
How to change how you think, change your life and achieve success and happiness
I’m Willie Horton and I’m a psychologist - from Dublin Ireland, living in the French Alps - each week we explore how to change the way you think and... change your life.
Cognitive psychology and neuroscience provide the evidence that anyone - that means you! - can take charge of how the mind works, restructure the brain's key components and... change your life.
The really cool news is: what you need to do to change your life is breathtakingly simple and you'll find your health, wealth, fitness, wellbeing, happiness and peace of mind simply flow when you're flowing in the moment.

I’m Willie Horton and I’m a psychologist. Since 1996 I’ve been helping my clients and followers all over the world change how they think - that changes their perspective and their lives… and it’s transformational.

I’m originally an accountant and banker, from Dublin Ireland, now living in the French Alps (I know a bit about transformation too) and I can tell you how to change your life one simple step at a time (there are really only two steps).

Hope you take one of those steps today.
