Spoiler alert! My Itty Bitty Sh!#y Committee was activated! You know the one; the voices that start feeding you full of negativity. I lost my purse and included in it's contents were credit cards, house key, car keys, and my cell phone. The thought of someone having my ID, keys to my home and credit cards made my stomach drop and a lump form in my throat. And then I told myself that it would all work out. I didn't give up. I was actively working on the return of the contents while consciously choosing to bring my mind back to the possibility of it's return. I would't surrender to the doubt and fear. I appreciate that I get to practice what I preach. Jill Bolte Taylor, author of My Stroke of Insight talks about the left hemisphere in the brain and how it relates to the negative story in the mind. She writes, "In my opinion, making the decision that internal verbal abuse is not acceptable behavior, is the first step toward finding deep inner peace." What kinds of events make your Itty Bitty Sh!#y Committee active? What best supports you to quiet it when it starts? If your committee is overactive, you have the right to choose to deactivate it! You can choose to quiet it, tune into a different frequency, allow your mind to open up to experience your situation in a different way! This takes practice. Just as you wouldn't expect your newly walking toddler to walk up Mt. Everst, gift yourself with the same grace and patience. Exercise the part of your brain that is seeking to tune into a different frequency. Practice, practice, practice and notice your Itty Bitty Sh!#y Committee getting quieter!
