Example Reflection – Storytelling 

 Challenge & Selection 

 Storytelling is an absolutely incredible tool that has helped me much to deal with some problems . I use   this tool in my home . I have a younger brother and sister in my family , and I have to spend most of time   looking after them , given this pandemic - time . When I have to look after them , we share stories for   multiple purposes . Not too long ago , I realized that our bond is not too strong , in terms of sharing our   feelings with each other . Also , as an introvert , I was facing different challenges to communicate with   people , and share my thoughts , even with my own family members . It was hampering my social ability . I   felt as if I was missing one of the most important aspects of being human , which is socialization . As a   part of solution , I chose storytelling , so that it can become easier for me to deliver my thoughts , and at   the same time , strengthen my relationship with my siblings . Storytelling is simply an act of sharing   stories . Often , when they need help with study , or I have to understand them , as a part of   communication , I use storytelling . I tell them stories of my own life , and others which I 've heard from my   parents , to help them cope with some problems they face . I use storytelling , to break down my   emotions as a story to share . From the video in this course , what I deduced is that storytelling is a very   easy way not only to connect with people , understand them , but also to connect with myself . So , I chose   storytelling to deal with this challenge to overcome a little dark side of being an introvert , and to   connect more with my siblings , because I find it easy and effective . 

 Application 

 Well , the first time I got the idea of storytelling when I was watching a YouTube video , where a speaker   was telling story of her about facing domestic violence and how she divorced , going against the narrow- minded society . I felt that it was a great medium to encourage many people to stand up for themselves ,   and against many problems of the society . By practicing storytelling at my home , I am able to teach my   younger siblings about the lessons of morality , and positivity . As far as I can tell , this has changed the   way I think , and my perspective in viewing a problem . It helped me to sow the positive culture , in my   home , of sharing thoughts , and being comfortable with speaking with people . 

 The best storytelling exercise we do is , playing different roles . Well , it 's like a minor game . We assign   different roles to each other , like of a doctor , who is working on rural areas to help people , or a farmer   and so on . And , then we ask each other to share the ( fantasized ) stories about the best work they had   done in their respective fields . Getting into such character encourages my siblings to think creatively and   of course in an innovative way to create scenarios of opportunities in face of problems . Also , we give   each other a certain time period to discuss about the best and worst part of days , and connect them   with stories by thinking what we could 've done to make those situations better . This caused us to have   strong perspective about certain situations , and certain topics . 

 Storytelling helped me and hopefully them to cope with problems they faced in the day , strengthen our   relation as siblings , and be comfortable sharing our thoughts , and emotions with others . 

 Insight & Approach 

 Well , I ca n't describe how much helpful storytelling has been to me and my family relations . The timid   and shy myself has now metamorphosed into an open human , who can now share and deal with a huge   range of emotional turmoil . I can now comfortably reason my opinion in front of other people , not only   my family . And , in case of my siblings , they have become more open to me , and the boring life has been   spiced up . In all , it has boosted my self - confidence , perspectives on certain things , my social relations ,   communications , and my thought process . 

 After applying storytelling with my siblings , I found it affecting on other aspects of my life too . I was   once walking to my school for I missed my bus that day . On the way , I stood up against a mother who   was yelling and beating her child for a tiny wrong thing he had done . I could n't imagine myself being at   that position , from a shy girl who could n't stand up for herself to claiming right against the wrong thing .   Also , I found myself being less nervous delivering speech in class , and debating with a friend on any   topic and that also with strong opinions .   So , as an alternative approach , storytelling helps to provide   chain effect on multiple aspects of life . With that being said , I too think that storytelling helps in much   more areas of life , than only business . 

 As an alternative approach , I think I will apply storytelling in a bigger and broader area like social activity ,   and delivering my opinion to people in larger platform to speak against the wrong doings in our society .   As an example , delivering speeches in school , and working collectively in certain problems might be an   initiation . Also , I will use storytelling along with visualization , to make the exchange process more   effective .
