108. Which Life Script Do You Want to Let Go of This Year?
Happy New Year! In this first episode of 2025, Gemma invites you to reflect on the life scripts and recurring patterns that no longer serve you and take intentional steps toward rewriting them. Life scripts are the unconscious stories and patterns that shape how we think, feel, and behave, often holding us back from living authentically and joyfully.
By unpacking and letting go of these outdated narratives, we create space for personal growth, healthier relationships, and a life aligned with our true selves.
In This Episode, Gemma Discusses:
- What Are Life Scripts?
- How they differ from schemas and influence our decisions and behaviors.
- Examples of common life scripts, such as people-pleasing, perfectionism, and self-doubt.
- The Connection Between Life Scripts and Schemas:
- How schemas like abandonment, defectiveness, and unrelenting standards often underpin these scripts.
- Three Common Life Scripts:
- People-Pleasing: "I need to make everyone happy to be loved."
- Perfectionism: "If I don’t do this perfectly, I’m not good enough."
- Self-Doubt: "I’m not capable or as good as others."
- How to Let Go of Limiting Life Scripts:
- Identify the Script: Recognize the recurring patterns or schemas that are holding you back.
- Visualize Change: Imagine life without the script—what would it look like?
- Create a Mantra: Use affirmations to focus your intention and remind yourself of your growth.
- Take Small Steps: Start with achievable actions, like setting a boundary or reframing a critical thought.
- Real-Life Examples:
- Gemma shares powerful success stories of clients who rewrote their scripts and transformed their lives.
As we begin 2025, this episode is your invitation to reflect, reset, and take steps toward letting go of the old scripts holding you back.
