So it does mean that it has value to tell the story.
I would say this differently: You ARE already vibrating, thinking and (most likely) telling "the story" (to yourself and probably your friends. And to be fair, you can't help thinking "the story" when you're in the midst of your manifestation. "The story" Is pretty much the content of "your vibration.
So, I would say that it has (tremendous, IMHO) value to be aware of "the story," because "the story" Is your starting point for your vibrational journey. You need to know what your story is so that you can find thoughts which still seem true to yet which feel better. You can't know if your new thoughts feel better without activating your old story.
And let me be clear (because there's been some confusion when you and I have discussed this before): when I say "story," I'm simply meaning the thoughts that you think (about a subject, a person, a situation, etc.). We take our various thoughts and organize those thoughts into a nice little story.
Feelinggoodgoodfeeling:
I often think about the story as what I immediate think about a subject
Great. That's a good starting point. As you soothe and shift those thoughts that you immediately think about your subject, you may discover that includes other things that you haven't yet been aware of, like that time when domeone else did the same thing to you or whatever.
As you become aware of these additional thoughts (and how you feel) you can decide to find better-feeling thoughts for them too, when you're ready.

So, that is my "story" most honest and sincere or "real" in my current way of thinking. Telling a story is letting my mind express through words, emotions and everything until it is all expressed. Telling a story in this way where any hidden thought is left behind, is framed in explanation of conditions.
Is this correct?
You kind of lost me there, so let me address the parts I understood and you can ask about what I didn't yet answer for you.
Don't worry about "hidden thoughts." There's no digging and there's no analysis required in this "work." Might there be thoughts which are sort of shouted over your loudest, most pressing thoughts? Sure, that can happen.
But as you soothe and shift your loudest, most problematic thoughts, you're sort of silencing those once-loudest thoughts. When you do that,
one of two things can happen: in the relative silence you've created for yourself, you can finally hear any "hidden" thoughts (and then soothe and shift what you hear). Or you've shifted your vibration so that you're no longer a vibrational match to your "hidden" thoughts, so they're no longer part of your vibration. If they're no longer part of your vibration, you don't have to worry about them.
So, the piece in this part of your reply which confuses me is your comment about "..framed in explanation of conditions." I'm not sure what you mean by that, but it reminds me of what I've been seeing in your previous threads and, to give you the help you're seeking, I want to talk about that.
In your past threads, you've (very clearly)
Feelinggoodgoodfeeling:
Can we tell a story without not be trapped into the conditions of what is or was that led to it?
I don't understand what you're asking here.
Feelinggoodgoodfeeling:
How can I know a story about a condition? How can I know what I am thinking about a condition?
Now, I'm really confused because you just told me you know what your story is. And now you're asking how you can know your story?
Your story about a condition is what you think about that condition. You just have to pay attention to what you're thinking as you feel your negative emotions in a condition. (And I say this kindly: you and I have discussed this particular point--actually, all of these questions in this thread so far--in great detail in threads you've previously opened, some of which have almost a exactly the same title as this thread. So, I'm going to suggest that you re-read your previous threads. Maybe that'll inspire you to new, more helpful-to-you questions.)

After reading carefully your posts and Consciously, what I understand is that in the example the "stress" feeling about the missing keys means that there is a story behind.
There's a story behind ALL emotion--"positive" or "negative"--because we manage our alignment through our thoughts (and stories are just a collection of thoughts) and our alignment produces our emotions--"positive" or "negative."

For example: "I will be late to work, and I will cause bad impression to the main Manager and RHs, they will lose respect, I will be left out of promotions, I am so bad, I feel so guilty, I should have been more organized, I should be more careful and attentive to my keys."
There you go! That's a very nice example of a "story" about some missing keys.
Most of these thoughts feel like guilt.
OK. I don't think the precise label is all that necessary but give yourself extra credit for going the extra step of checking in with your own emotional guidance system and finding a label!
Feelinggoodgoodfeeling:
How I would soothe this
If I arrive late at work, I will explain myself and I will be honest with them. I can call them before and let them know that I will arrive late.
This is just my thinking. That is not their thinking. Overall I think I contribute fairly enough for this company.
I am a good, competent employee and I do not have to feel quilt because I am organized, and most of my days I do know where my keys are and I arrive on time. It is not my fault at all. Could it be someone put it in other place, it does not matter.
I have countless of times where I stand out of my way to contribute to the successful work of the projects and the company.
It is all okay.
I am competent and enjoy to see the positive effect of my contributions in this company.
I like to feel that all is well and I relate well with main Manager, RHs and all people in this company.
Actually this company has a flexible time schedule to me and I can take a free day or half a day if I want or need to.
I can relax for now. All is well.
On paper, that looks good.
So, now apply what I call my "litmus test." Go through what you've written, phrase by phrase, and ask yourself:
• "Do I really Believe this?" Note that capitalization. If you don't really Believe this or if it's a form of putting lipstick on a pig or if it's kind of wishful thinking or hoping, either adjust that phrase so that you can Believe it or find a replacement phrase you can Believe. Before moving on to the next phrase, ask yourself (about the phrase you just looked at):
• "Does this phrase feel better to me? Do I feel relief from this phrase?" If not, adjust your phrase so that it's still something you can Believe and you can feel relief from it.
How deep should a person dig on a story?
Not deep at all. I meant it above, when I said there no "digging" or analysis in this "work."
That being said, when I do my "work,"I will ask myself a few clarifying questions. These are the same questions that is ask a friend who was telling me a story to make sure I understand what she's saying and meaning.
And I will ask them from the vantage point of being an outside listener, listening to my friend (rather than being me, assuming I know what 1 mean). For me, these clarifying questions often shine a light on some Beliefs or assumptions which might not serving me. An easy example of this could be, when I write,
"She should not have done that," I might ask myself things like, "Where is it written that she should not have done that?" or
"When she does that thing (that she should not have done) what do you think about that?" or "What makes it so bad for you when she does that?" All these questions give me more understanding about what's being said and give me different avenues to approach my "work" when I get to it.
But none of that is "digging" in my book. All the thoughts I "work" with are right there on the surface, so there's no need to "dig."

I know there is value in climbing the staircase step by step, but I do not want to take the next step if I need to go a bit deeper in a current thought in order to find some old beliefs or fine, sincere emotions. I also do not want to go deeper if it feels bad, because my goal is to soothe, feel better, find relief.
It's great that your goal is to soothe, feel better and find relief. That's precisely what Abraham teach us to do and that's the goal of this "work." It's not a question of "going deeper" in a thought. For going up the Scale step by step, there are two main approaches. Both are valid.
I use the analogy of climbing the stairs with a whole bunch of bags, boxes and bundles. You can move your bags, boxes and bundles up the stairs, one stair at a time. Or you can grab what you can carry and climb one stair after another as high as you can get (or as high as you want) before going back down to get the other stuff you'd left below. Both ways will eventually get you and your stuff from.the bottom of the stairs all the way to the top. And sometimes you have to do a combination of the two--like, say, when an orange falls out of your bags and bounces all the way down to the bottom stair.
So, what does this mean when you're doing your "work"? "Moving all your stuff up one stair at a time" (to me) means moving from where you are on the Scale (say, Guilt) to the next higher ring (which, in this example, would be Jealousy. Hang out there, enjoying the relief from your thoughts of Jealousy (without judging yourself for finding relief in thoughts of Jealousy*). This could be a day, a week, a month even. (Usually not that long.) And then when Jealous thoughts no longer provide you with relief and Jealousy feels normal now to you, that's your cue to move up to the next stair (which, in this example, would be Hatred/Rage) and so on.
To me, the "grab what you carry and climb the stairs" approach is to start where you are (with your current story, using Guilt again for our starting point in this example) and then move your story up to Jealousy and then up to Hatred/Rage and so on (still using my "litmus test" from above) until you call it quits for the the day or for your session. As I said, both approaches "work." They're both valid and you'll find fans of both on this Forum.
IME, the "grab what you can carry..." approach often has us going back "down" to get more of our stuff, because our practiced momentum is "down" and it takes some practice to get our momentum moving in the way we want. So, many Forum friends seem to report a tendency to "cycle" from where they'd gotten to "back down to square one" (no such thing, really) with this approach.
Try then both out and see which works for you!
*I included that parenthetical comment especially for you because, in the past, you had a tendency to want to skip over some of the "negative" emotions (even if they were "above" where you were on the Scale) because you had some resistant stories about those "negative" emotions. Use all the "stairs." They are all there for you.
