Situate>> Using a timeline approach, writing your life story will allow you to identify your "core narrative" and its influence on your behavioral patterns, stuck points, thought cycles, or other areas of desired change. Through exploring your narrative, you can situate your present in a context that allows understanding, acceptance, and a plan for change.

Search>> Here is where the exploration process begins by searching through your story timeline. Once identified, the core narrative is key to narrowing down personality type and characteristics, behavior and relational patterns, strengths, weaknesses, gifts, thought-process, all of which directly effect your present circumstances. The search stage leads to self-awareness, which creates space for the agency needed for growth or change.

Shift>> The third stage is one where questions are asked to help shift from your dominant narrative developed during early childhood to a new desired narrative created from a more mature perspective. This desired narrative will allow you to operate in a way that is intentional and sustainable according to what is true from your current perspective rather than an early, less experienced one. The "shift" is where everything begins to change and you take the reigns in your own life. The shift stage is helpful to explore any questions you have in light of a bigger picture perspective of yourself: spirituality, purpose, toxic thoughts or behaviors... here is where these questions can be considered in a place of grace and safety.

Sustain>> Now it is time to create action steps based on a newly established narrative. This will allow you to make a plan to maintain your new perspective and implement strategic thought, emotional, somatic, and spiritual practices to move forward self-aware, awake, and active as your story continues.
