Learn to adjust your internal dialogue in order to gain a balanced perspective between what you say to yourself and how others hear you.
Modify your internal dialogue and Summer-ize your brain no matter what season you’re in.
In order to begin this process, ask yourself a self- probing question such as, “What keeps you stuck?”
Notice where and when you find yourself overwhelmed or distracted. In this way you will become far more aware of the sub-modalities and locations.
1) As you think to yourself, or say to yourself, notice the feelings. Is there heaviness or lightness? Is there a lack of focus? Or perhaps there is a heightened focus and you are missing what is peripheral. Do you notice emotions moving through you?
2) Become aware of what is internally being said or heard. Do you notice sounds? Are those sounds voices? If so, whose voices? What directions, relative to your person are those sounds coming from? In what direction are they going?
3) Once you are more aware of those sounds, begin to change them. If the sound is mono, change it to stereo. Notice how you feel. Is it better or worse? Continue through the modality list accompanying this newsletter.
4) Now notice that you may at any time change your internal dialogue and change your feelings for the better.
If your internal dialogue is too loud, soften it: If your internal dialogue is that of someone who should live outside of your head, change it. Remember, this is your brain and you may control it in any way that serves you best.
Those with small minds and even those who fool themselves in believing they have large minds fail to even notice the limitations they place before themselves.
