And you might notice the shadow narrator's surface when you start to feel good or when life gets calm and your nervous system doesn't know how to relax or she might

whisper something like this won't last or something bad always follows the good well when that happens

pause breathe remind yourself the body is simply adjusting to peace and peace can feel foreign if chaos

used to be your baseline that's not, that's just recalibration.

Spiritually, this process is alchemy, turning old narratives into wisdom.

You're not erasing the chapters of heartbreak or insecurity or failure.

You're distilling them.

You're extracting the essence and the courage and compassion and the self-awareness.

Leaving the residue behind.

I mean, the shadow narrator will always have her say.

She will, she'll always be there.

But over time, her tone changes.

She becomes softer and wiser.

A historian rather than a judge.

And she remembers, but she no longer defies.

Oh, remembers but she no longer defies.

Hello, hello, magical friends, Yomis. My name is Raquel and welcome to Your Own Magic,

a podcast for the creative and the curious soul. And today's Magic Monday, I felt like talking a bit about our inner narrator. The power. Our inner narrator holds on us, on our lives. It's that

voice inside of us that whispers what everything means to us or shapes how we see our reality, how we see our life, how we see

ourselves in our lives, and often holds the pen to our story. And here's the gift. You don't just

have to listen to that voice. You can learn to simply edit it. You can rewrite it. Choose a different tone.

We're not stuck.
