I understand where the thought is coming from, and the idea behind building understood a new story and trying to obtain that instead of older ones. It also, presented that way, elides what was likely a lot more work to adjust habits, prune toxicity where possible, maybe even make physical changes so as to make it easier to get rid of those stories and build new ones.

(And I wonder how well the metaphorical method works when you live in a world that keeps repeating those bad stories back at you and insisting they're true.)

That said, if that's the kind of thing that works for you, and helps you reset patterns you don't want, then go ahead and do it.
