[RBS] "If you don't like what is being said, change the conversation." Don Draper, Mad Men Part II

[Ellen Segal]

Who is that narrator in your head telling you what you should be doing? 

(see Part I on FB) S/he's also the one telling you, "You better not
____________ (join an exercise class, try out for choir, raise your hand in
class), you'll make a fool out of yourself." Or, "You're not quite ready to
____________(advertise your services, date, plant a garden),, wait until
you've had more training, experience, lost a few pounds, or grown a few
inches.." Or, "The more you worry the better it will turn out." Or "Big
Girls/Boys Don't Cry."

 

That voice is with you all day long, telling you who you are and
interpreting all your experiences. He wants you to accept him as the voice
of authority and reality. He's very slick, perhaps, the ultimate "(m)ad
man," selling you his version of who you are and what will happen, seemingly
in your best interest, but his everlasting goal is to make you as miserable
as possible. He is the source of your negative thoughts. He uses your
negative memories or fears to paint a horrifying picture of your future for
your viewing pleasure. 

 

If you don't like what is being said in your head....don't get sucked in to
the muck and stuck...change the conversation... to a self-empowering,
self-confident one so you can create the life you choose. 

 

Come coach with me and learn how to change the conversation.
