Intelligent Intoxication

We all have an INNER VOICE in our minds. Our INNER VOICE is the collection of thoughts we think about who we are and how we behave.

If we heard loving, encouraging, and nurturing words, our INNER VOICE will sound more like a loving, encouraging, nurturing BEST FRIEND, MENTOR, or COACH.

If we heard critical words, our INNER VOICE developed into an INNER CRITIC.

What does your INNER VOICE sound more like - CRITIC or COACH?

Does your INNER CRITIC or INNER COACH sound like:

• a parent?

• a teacher?

Here are my favorite Inner Critic resources:

The Courage Habit: How to Accept Your Fears, Release the Past, and Live Your Courageous Life by Kate Swobota. 

“The Courage Habit” podcast.

Dethroning Your Inner Critic: The Four-Step Journey From Self-Doubt to Self-Empowerment by Joanna Kleinman. 

“Dethroning Your Inner Critic” podcast.

We all have an INNER VOICE in our minds. Our INNER VOICE is the collection of thoughts we think about who we are and how we behave.

We develop this INNER VOICE as young children to keep us safe. In the spirit of "getting curious", did your INNER VOICE develop to:

• please your parents?

If you want to stop your crappy habit, you must be aware of what your INNER VOICE is telling you about your capability/willingness to do so.

There are crappy myths about “uncomfortable” or “negative” emotions and it doesn’t serve you to believe them. 

MYTH #1: There are “good” and “bad” emotions. Nope. Some emotions feel “positive and comfortable” while others feel “negative and uncomfortable”. It will not serve you to “moralize” your feelings. 

MYTH #2: Our goal is to only feel “positive” emotions. Nope. All emotions offer value in the form of insight into what you’ve been thinking and believing. 

MYTH #3: When we feel “crappy” emotions, our goal is to figure out a way to feel better as quickly as possible. Nope. Our goal is to feel. Period. And, to take care of ourselves until we’ve felt the emotion all the way through. 

MYTH #4: Other people’s crappy actions and words cause our emotions. Nope. When other people say or do something, we make their words and actions mean something about them or us - this meaning creates our emotions. 

Ask yourself these questions:

• “Does it serve me long-term to keep thinking this?”

When you feel an uncomfortable emotion, instead of avoiding, resisting, or numbing it, try this instead:

Name the emotion you’re feeling: “I feel overwhelmed.”

Google the definition of the emotion: “Overwhelm means feeling buried in thoughts and emotions about ‘all there is to do’ to the point of feeling paralyzed.”

If that definition resonates with you, identify the thought you were thinking that caused you to feel overwhelmed: “I was overwhelmed because I was thinking that I’m buried by way too much I should do.”

If the definition didn’t resonate with you, google synonyms for overwhelm: 

• Swamped

Use this list to locate what you were thinking: “I’m overwhelmed because I keep thinking that I’m swamped with obligations.”

When we know what we were thinking to cause what we’re feeling, we get to decide if we want to keep thinking it.

We must be willing to identify the uncomfortable emotions that are fueling our habitual actions. 

When you feel an uncomfortable emotion, instead of avoiding, resisting, or numbing it, try this instead:

1.On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being REALLY INTOLERABLE, 4 or 5 being TOLERABLE, and 1 being BARELY NOTICEABLE, rate how the sensations FEEL in your body. 

2.Then, ask your body “Do you need… “

• rest?

3.Give your body what it needs. 

4.Then, rank the level of the emotion again. 

5.If it’s lower, ask yourself:

• “Is this tolerable?”

6.If it isn’t, repeat what you did or try something new until the level of the emotion is tolerable.

Crappy habits are truly a three-ring circus:

Ring #1: What you’re thinking while you’re in the habit. Your thinking creates what you’re feeling. 

Ring #2: What you’re feeling while you’re in the habit. What you’re feeling drives or fuels your actions or inactions related to the habit. 

Ring #3: What you’re actually doing or not doing. 

We must be willing to identify the uncomfortable emotions that are fueling our habitual actions. 

I invite you to consider these questions:

• What emotion is most uncomfortable for you to feel?

Our brain seeks pleasure and, instead of being satisfied with “simple pleasures”, we get in the habit of consuming “concentrated pleasures”. 

I invite you to consider these questions:

Which of these CONCENTRATED PLEASURES are you in the habit of consuming:

• sugar/flour?

Which of these SIMPLE PLEASURES will be satisfying?

• exercise?
