I want to share this podcast I discovered today as I was googling "I F**** up my life" during lunch (yea, I sure know how to have fun, don't I 😂🤣) ... well, but ... I'm thinking how many of us experts also have days when we feel like S**t?
We just don't talk about this much. Why? Well, the best reason would be because you don't want to give these thoughts any more breathing space. They need to be stopped before they invade your whole day, week, month, life...
The second reason is, that we don't need to infect others with our negativity (yes, this is a viral disease... sad to say, this is true).
BUT - we still need to talk about this as it is IMPORTANT!
These thoughts are blatant lies messing up many a person's Monday, not just my own. Whatever you do DO NOT BELIEVE A WORD OF IT!
I believe we don't share enough "behind the scenes" reality on social media. We only share the good stuff, the accolades, the success stories, the happy moments, the cookies and cream of life. When in fact...my inner voice is on a rampage today, I'm finding it hard to like myself right now, and it took me over 40 years to discover this is a setting I could tinker with if I want to live a better life.
I choose to talk about this as Inner Dialogue Invasions are not just happening to me. They are omnipresent. The more successful you are the more likely you're at war with yourself daily!
It took me a while to admit it, my default emotional setting is somewhat on the sad side of life. My amygdala is reacting fearfully when in reality there is no real danger. I need to own this setting. I need to know it's skewed and I need to work on resetting it every day ... in the last five years, my overall happiness coefficient (HQ) went up remarkably due to my private work.
One of my self-coaching techniques is to start a "Bank of Affirmative Stories" where I have recently deposited a lovely "love my life" Story when I had one of the most incredible days (mind you it was just a normal Tuesday, but I felt like I owned the world). I pulled that story out and confronted my inner dialogue with it. As a result, we're agreeing to disagree at the moment lol 🤣😎 but I'm pretty sure that in an hour or so I'll bounce back to my "learned optimism" state of well-being.
If you are going through your private little inner war - know you are not alone, this is a normal occurrence! I've coached many leaders and experts on getting out of this spin! You can break it and gain more self - control!
As a coach - I'm here to help, as always - DM me... ❤️
