Your Story Is Not Over

A form of therapy called narrative therapy, helps individuals separate themselves from their problems and behaviors. Its aim is to assist individuals in understanding how their problems or behaviors either help or hinder them, rather than force people to focus solely on their negative impacts or qualities. This stance empowers persons to begin making necessary changes in their lives. It affords them the opportunity to write their story and the ending to their story, the way they want. It assists individuals in living to their true ideal selves, reflecting their genuine potential, purpose, and capabilities. 

A major project, born in 2013 and continues to this day, called the Semicolon Project, was founded because people who struggle with mental health, addiction, and suicidal thoughts might often times struggle with ending their story, but they choose not to. Thus, they choose to continue their story. They chose to re-write their story and the ending of their story. They chose to make whatever changes they needed to make in their lives to help them re-write their story. 

How are you going to write your story today? Can you restart your day? Remember, your story is not over. 

Peace & love to all
