Making choices in life and the voice in your head

Making choices in life and the voice in your head
•
You could have the power to design your life in any way, but you don’t want it.
•
Question from the audience: What about when you know what you need to do, but it is hard to do?
o Lauren’s response: How do you stop smoking? Stop putting cigarettes in your mouth!
•
Then you are left dealing with that little voice in your head.
• But you need a cigarette after dinner. You NEED it!
•
People believe that it’s difficult to avoid putting their hand to their mouth. Isn’t that crazy?
•
That little voice in your head is a brat.
•
You’re here on this planet to manage your mind. Get those voices under management.
o The Double Agent
•
Everyone pretends that they are 100% supportive of their life.
•
But the double agent in your head bets against you.
•
“I can’t do this”
•
“There’s no way I can do that”

o The only thing that is really true about your “inability” to act is that you don’t have a plan.
•
So make a plan, and stick with it.
•
If you had gun to your head, you’d be fine.
•
Break the pattern of excuses, justifications, and feeling bad.
o The real problem is that you suck at keeping promises to yourself!
• So deal with it.
o All this excuse stuff you’re dealing with is all a diversion so you don’t have to deal with your fears and where you want your life to go:
•
Going after your dreams
•
Dealing with the rage of feelings you would have to feel if you were doing want you wanted to be doing.
•
So we are chickens without personal integrity.
•
And we buy our own hype.
•
If Lauren can do it, we certainly can.
