Saboteurs beware this Autumn

Who are your biggest saboteurs? Your strongest blockers? Can you see them?

The Judge or as I like to call mine, Cruella, is actually within me. The voice that replays events, is hyper vigilant around perceived emotional threats and wants to achieve highly.

Is this what drives me to be better?

We know that a creative person cannot innovate when under perceived threat, the judge is too strong.

Our judge comes to help us-

Our brains are wired for survival. We no longer have the same survival needs in our day to day life if we’ve experienced trauma in the past. The judge within sets off our alarm system to react. When the judge is quietened, we can have discernment and calmness. We can really hear ourselves and see the clear picture.

The absence of conflict is not where it’s at. Vulnerability can lead us to much deeper connection, if we are prepared to be really seen.

It’s not always easy and yes I find my hyper vigilant saboteur wants me to run away!

There’s enough fear in the world now so let’s be brave.

These last few months have helped us see that yes we can do boundaries, yes we can say what our preferences are. Yes we can give each other space.

Let’s now go within and do the same internally. Give yourself some space this Autumn and join me in a challenge.

Any time you notice your inner judge, I want you to name it. Call it Darth Vader, or whatever you like. Give it a name that discredits it’s power. I want you then, to feel your feet connected to the earth for a period of 10 seconds or more. 10 seconds is all it takes for the new neural pathways to begin to activate.

The more you add these ten second breaks into your day, especially when you’ve named a saboteur, the stronger your Sage muscle becomes.

I’m doing this for the next 8 weeks!

Please join me and post what happens when you do the same!
