How to deal with that pesky (and sometimes mean!) internal chatter

We all know the classic high school stereotype…

The queen bee… the most popular girl in school… the girl everyone fears yet everyone wants to be… the mean girl.

I mean, remember Regina George? How she’d get Cady at her most open and vulnerable, and then hurl out an insult that was cruel, yes, but also felt a little bit true?

Chances are we aren’t running into many Regina Georges in real life (hopefully!) but there is something about those comments that seem harsh but also hit a little too close to home, that seems familiar. 

Maybe, it’s because more often than not, those cruel remarks are coming from inside our own heads. You know, stuff like…

“Who do I think I am?”

“I’m not qualified to be here!”

“I don’t actually know what I’m talking about…”

Or the most painful one of all…

”I’m just not good enough.”

Sound familiar?

It’s NOT just you! The truth is we all struggle with that pesky internal voice, the one that can sometimes feel like there’s a mean girl living right inside our brain.

But what if I told you there was a way to reframe all of this chatter? That you could  change your relationship with that voice in your head—the one effing with your confidence and self worth?! 

What if I told you that that critical voice was actually something that you could learn to work with and even grow to appreciate? 

Check out this clip from inside a Presence Under Pressure coaching session to learn how!

I know, it sounds a little woo-woo, but hear me out in this 2 minute video where I explain the science behind your inner mean girl and how to reframe your relationship with her, so you feel more empowered and effective next time she shows up.

You see? That critical internal chatter isn’t really a “mean girl,” after all! 

It’s simply the limbic system inside your brain setting off a “fire alarm,” trying to keep you safe.

So instead of judging this inner monologue, or even worse, listening to it, remember that it’s just a sign that your brain is healthy and working, it’s warding off danger for you. It’s a reminder that you’re alive! It’s something to be grateful for.  

And at the same time, it needs to be put in its place. Just like Regina George, that voice is simply a product of fear that needs a little patience, love and compassion.
