The Metaphorical Life
What metaphors do you use to describe yourself to yourself or to others?
What metaphors do you use to describe the world or “life in general”?
All these metaphors influence how we perceive ourselves and others. Choose metaphors that reflect what your want for yourself now or in the future.
Check your diaries or journals or something personal you wrote for yourself. Learn to look for the metaphors you regularly use. Do any of them need changing?
