Unstick Old Stories: Stop Playing That Tired Loop
At Urban Roots, we’re all about cutting the ropes that tie you down—fear, baggage, anything dimming your now. One sneaky anchor? Those old stories you keep telling yourself. You know the ones—“I’m not good enough,” “I mess everything up,” “I’ll never get it right.” They’re like a scratched record, skipping in your head, holding you back from who you could be. They’re not facts—they’re just stuck. Let’s unstick those old stories and get you moving free.
What’s an Old Story Anyway?
These are the scripts you’ve picked up—little tales about who you are or what you can’t do. Maybe they started way back—a flunked test, a harsh word, a time you felt small—and now they’re on repeat. Your brain treats them like truth, not history, so they shape what you try, what you dodge, how you feel. They’re not you—they’re just noise that’s overstayed its welcome.
How They Got Stuck
How’d they lodge in there? Life happened. A kid calls you weird, a boss skips you over, and boom—your head writes “I don’t belong” and hits replay. Maybe you leaned on them once to make sense of things, but now they’re a rut. You don’t even notice ‘til you’re passing up chances or feeling low for no reason. They’re comfy in a twisted way—familiar—but they’re keeping you from growing.
What They’re Stealing
Here’s the sting: those stories aren’t just background chatter—they’re thieves. They swipe your guts to try new stuff, your chill to enjoy the moment, your shot at happy. “I always fail” stops you before you start. “I’m too much” keeps you quiet. You’re not present—you’re stuck in a rerun that’s not even real anymore. At Urban Roots, we say enough—those tales don’t get to run your show.
Signs They’re Still Running
Spot them like this: you hear “you can’t” in your head before you even try. A compliment lands, and you shrug it off—‘cause “I’m not that great” is the script. Maybe you’re stuck reliving some old flop, or you feel heavy for no clear why. That’s those stories, spinning their tired yarn. They’re loudest when you’re about to step up—time to hit mute.
How to Unstick Them
Ready to ditch ‘em? Start here: catch one mid-loop—“I’m a screw-up”—and call it out. Say, “That’s old news, not me.” Flip it: “I’m figuring it out, and that’s dope.” Write it down if it helps, then shred it—literally. Swap the rerun for now—focus on what’s real today, like your coffee, your breath, this moment. Keep at it, and those stories lose their grip. You’re not that script—you’re bigger.
