How to Stop Being Your Own Worst Enemy: The Internal Negotiation Method


Listen Later

That voice in your head that talks you out of everything good? Jordan Blake calls it your "internal board meeting from hell" and shows you exactly how to get everyone on the same page. Turns out your brain's decision-making happens faster than you can think (about 0.1 seconds), which explains why your best intentions get hijacked so often.
🎯 What You'll Learn:
• The "Internal Negotiation Method" that treats your conflicting thoughts like different departments that need to reach agreements
• Why your prefrontal cortex doesn't fully develop until age 25, and what that means for self-sabotage patterns
• How people who practice self-compassion during setbacks recover 40% faster than the self-criticism crowd
• The specific language patterns that help you broker peace deals with your own resistance
👤 Perfect for: anyone who's tired of being their own biggest roadblock and wants practical tools that actually work when your brain starts spiraling.
