I was wide awake in the middle of the night recently (with our 1 week old baby) and my brain started to yap at me. Tell me that I wasn’t doing enough at home, at work, etc. Happens. Especially when sleep deprived! I told my brain to STFU and that I’d inspect it in the daylight. And then I did.
The next morning I wrote and asked myself am I buying it or is it bullshit? Is there any truth to the story my brain was telling me in the middle of the night, or was it just the inner critic speaking up? It was mostly the latter. I pulled out my core and rinsed it through that and realized that I was living in alignment with my core with the exception of one area. I was falling short of my own standard in connecting with my wife. Simple solve. I made a PA about it and I was off and running.
As soon as I inspected, got clear, got a PA, my brain was in chill mode. My brain/inner critic then knew that I was living in alignment because I’d inspected and shown the evidence. And where I had a gap I now had a plan.
What inner critic are you letting yap without inspection? Slow down and inspect – are you buying it or is it bullshit?
