Do you ever have a conversation with your wild monkey?
It probably sounds like this:
“I want to accomplish X.” Then your resistant might chimes in to answer.
“Who are you kidding? You can’t do X. Remember the last time you tried.”
And the sad part is you believe it. You begin to reason, second-guess yourself, and ultimately chock up the notion to just a thought. Soon after it has no more ether and dies on the vine. Your resistant mind has done battle and won.
Buck up! Grab your self-esteem! Yell, scream, and declare that the wild monkey in your mind is not in charge. You know you can do whatever you set out to do, so just go do it.
Use all the props you can to banish that voice. Use better self-talk, affirmation, goals, declarations, motivational books, CD’s, whatever it takes to keep your wild monkey in check. I have even used a letter to address my voice.
Whatever method you use to talk back to your voice, know it may take continued effort to overcome this voice. Your wild monkey doesn’t know any better. They are in place to shield you from harm. The sad part about it is they are creating more harm than simply allowing you to be free to think, create, and accomplish your life’s dreams.
It will be a battle at times and in the end you will win. Stay the course of positive thoughts and positive actions.
