I love the idea of wearing a teeshirt which in the front says where you hope to go, and the back says what you've let go of. I think if we wore those shirts, that is all I'd be looking at. Very creative!

Thanks Jill! It‘s actually Eric Berne‘s powerful image he proposes to explore the stories we tell ourselves, the scripts we choose to enact. It struck me when I was reading his book What do you say after you say hello, and has stayed with me since. The thing is, these teeshirts are so often wrong... :)

But in their being wrong, its information that maybe at some point we read and tell ourselves, "Why'd we say that? Think that? Hope to be that?"

You mean in the book? Eric Berne was a psychiatrist, the book outlines his theory around scripts, and he describes these scripts and how they may be identified. It's not self-help, but it's not academic reading either. It's still one of my all-time-faves.
