These are the people you engage with regularly as part of your (Normal Rhythms) daily routine.

How you inspire?

We believe sharing your life experiences authentically can be a rewarding way to connect with others and build meaningful relationships. It's important to remember that vulnerability and openness can create a sense of trust and understanding. While there may be fear or hesitation initially, being genuine often leads to more genuine connections.

Vulnerability

Vulnerability is often viewed as a weakness, but in reality, it's the opposite. Sharing your experiences with others can be incredibly empowering and lead to deeper connections and relationships.

Openess

Choosing to be open is a transformative decision that can truly change your life. It’s about recognizing that we all have struggles, fears, and vulnerabilities, and choosing to share those experiences with others.

Trust/Understanding

At TOSO, we know how important it is to trust the person you are sharing your life experiences with. By fostering trust and understanding, we help you find clarity and purpose in your life – no matter what obstacles you face along the way.

Tips: How to share your story.

Sharing your life story with others in your normal rhythms (routines) doesn't have to be formal or weird. It can be a natural and enjoyable process. Here are some tips to help and others share their life stories in a simple and relatable way:

Find Everyday Moments: You don't need a grand event to share your story. Every moment can be just as impactful. Think about the small, relatable experiences that others can connect with.
Start with Anecdotes: Begin by sharing short anecdotes or stories from your daily life. These anecdotes can be about funny incidents, personal challenges, or moments of growth. Keep them concise and relatable.
Use Conversational Language: Avoid overly formal or complex language. Speak in a way that feels natural and conversational. Imagine you are talking to your friend.
Keep it Short and Sweet: While your life story is rich and multifaceted, remember that in daily interactions, its best to keep it concise. Focus on the most relevant and impactful aspects.
Share Lessons Learned: If there are lessons or insights you've gained from life experiences, don't hesitate to share them. People appreciate learning form other experiences.
Practice Active Listening: Encourage others to share their stories as well. Active listening fosters meaningful connections and allows you to relate to each other better.
Practice, Practice, Practice: Like any skill, storytelling improves with practice. The more you share your stories in a natural, everyday manner, the better you'll become at it.

Remember that sharing your life story should be a personal and enjoyable experience, in your daily interactions. BY keeping it simple, relatable, and authentic, you can connect with others on a deeper level and inspire them to share their own stories as well.

Appreciate the little Things

Real Talk:
Every day holds moments that might seem small but mean a whole lot when you stop and notice them. Whether it's a morning laugh with a neighbor or the way the sunlight hits the kitchen window, these little things add up.

How I Do It:

Stay Aware:
Make it a point to catch those everyday vibes—the smile of a stranger, a familiar song on the radio, or even the quiet time before the chaos of the day. It’s all about being present.
Reflect a Bit:
Occasionally, jot down one or two moments in a notebook—maybe a memory or a small win. Looking back may remind you that life is full of blessings.
Share Why It Matters:
When you talk about these moments, you can explain what they meant to you. Like, how a simple walk in the neighborhood brought back memories of family picnics and good times.

Example in your Words:
"Today, I was walking past the corner store and saw an old friend laughing with his kids. It hit me—these little scenes are what make life beautiful."

Next Step:
Make it a habit to pick one little moment every day to share with someone—whether that’s a quick chat with a friend or a note in your journal. Over time, you’ll start seeing and appreciating these moments more naturally, and your stories will shine even brighter.

Talk like you normally would

Real Talk:
There’s no need to dress up your words. When you speak like you’re chatting with your buddy, your story feels genuine and down-to-earth.

How I Do It:

Keep It Casual:
Talk just like you would with your friends—no fancy words, just real talk.
Drop the Jargon:
Avoid complicated language. Instead, use words that come naturally, so everyone feels included.
Be Yourself:
Let your personality come through. Whether your cracking jokes or getting real serious, stay true to who you are.
Engage the Listener:
Sometimes you can throw in a question like, "Ever had one of those days?" It turns the conversation into a two-way street.

Example in My Words:
"Man, I had one of those days where everything just clicked, and I felt so grateful for the little blessings. Ever feel that way?"

Next Step:
Challenge yourself to have one conversation a day where you intentionally keep it casual. Notice how your natural voice makes your story even more powerful and relatable. With time, you'll find that your genuine style draws people in.

Start with a Quick Story.

Real Talk:
Sometimes the best way to connect is with a short story that captures a moment in time. It doesn’t have to be a grand tale—just something real that made you feel.

How I Do It:

Pick a Moment:
Think about times that made me laugh or taught me a lesson—like that awkward moment at a family reunion or a funny mix-up at work.
Keep It Simple:
Stick to a simple structure: set the scene, share what happened, and explain what you took away from it. It keeps things clear and relatable.
Keep It Brief:
Try not to ramble. A minute or two is all it takes to capture the essence and keep my listeners interested.
Make It Personal:
Add details that paint the picture—like the vibe of the room or how you felt. That personal touch makes the story stick.

Example in your Words:
"Last week, I was waiting in line at the local diner, and the lady behind me started telling the funniest story about her grandkid. Her energy got me laughing, and it reminded me that sometimes, the best moments happen in the simplest places."

Next Step:
Try recording yourself telling one of these quick stories. Listen back and notice which parts grab your attention and which parts you can trim. The more you practice, the more natural your storytelling will become.
