Listen To Your Inner Voice And Change That Dialogue

The voices in our heads. We all have them. The voice I like to call the Inner Mean Girl is the voice we will talk about today.

Our mean girl tells us if we were more organized, smarter, or had more willpower, we wouldn't procrastinate. We procrastinate because there is something innately WRONG about us.

Interestingly, our inner mean girl is there to protect us. She is the part of our brain that keeps us small, to keep us safe. She was created when we were little and our kid brains were trying to figure out the world around us.

Problem is, she's no longer keeping us safe. She is keeping us stuck. She is keeping us small. She is keeping us from succeeding in what we want to do so we stay the same. She is keeping us away from growth.

So what do we do, tell her to screw off? NO! That's the thing. Even though she is distracting us from progress, she is part of us. And every part deserves acceptance and love. In fact, accepting and loving all of us is essential for transformation.

So, we get to thank her for keeping us safe, and tell her she can relax. Then we get to take control and decide how we'd rather operate!

So if your inner mean girl is telling you to put off your happiness, your project, your life until....until you lose weight, get a new job, make more money...until....

Thank her. Reassure her you've got this. Decide what action you get to take toward where you want to go, ask for help if you need it, and GO!
