Creator-based® Commentary


Creator-based® Commentary

Do you have a running commentary in your head? Does it sound somewhat like a sportscaster that lets “them” know exactly what your moves are, where you succeed, and gloriously emphasizes your bloopers and blunders?

Yeah, me too.  My running inner commentary generally leads me to fail.  

Sometimes that inner voice will be encouraging, but my default is definitely not positive.  

Interestingly, that’s as it should be.  Our brain naturally protects us and will keep a constant scan going for ways that we may experience hardship or danger.  That inner commentary is there to protect you.  It is, believe it or not, your friend, but it’s more like a best friend that says mean things to you.  Not one to encourage.

What if the inner commentary drags you down? Maybe it’s critical or unkind.  What then?Well, my friend, simply say to it, 

“Not helpful.”

That’s right. When your commentator is filling you with critical or judgmental thoughts, tell her, “No.  Not helpful.”

Choose a new thought that will help you feel good.

Maybe your commentary is worry.  Maybe your commentary is fear.  Maybe your commentary is regret.

Choose a new thought that makes you feel good.  Then-Combat negative commentary with your Success List.

This week, make a list of all the successes you can remember from the beginning of life to the present.  I know this will take a while, I mean, you are fantastic, after all. 

Begin with, “I learned to walk.”  You’ll most likely need a journal for this one. There are lots of successes to remember.

When your negative commentator is too loud, soothe her with your successes.  Show her the A you got in 3rd grade, the boy who thought you were cute in high school, and the great project you did at work.  

Keep that success list going. Keep it out where you can see it and jot things down for a week or two. Your commentator won’t care for it much, but the centered you- the forever you, will rejoice that you are finally listening to how amazing you really are.

Use those successes to combat the worry, fear, regret, or anxiety in your running inner commentary! 

I’d love to hear about what you write and what happens- share it with me, will you?  Find us on any of the social media outlets as well as YouTube.  We are Creator-based® Coaching or  @CMH Coaching.  Let’s share your victory together!

All my Love,

Creator-based® Consiousness

  Monday Morning Inspiration June 2024 |  EDITION NO. 00230 This made me giggle- we have so many choices and options that sometimes I forget that behaving “becomingly” is an option…. I hope you become what you want to be today. Do you sometimes feel like a 'woman without"? You may be familiar with the Bible story told of a poor widow bringing her offering to the temple.  It was such a small amount, a mite. It was not even enough to buy her bread and cheese for a single meal.  Would it really make any difference? Yet she was commended because “She of her want cast in all she hath.” Her society had defined her as a ‘woman without.’  She was a woman without a husband, a woman without means, a woman without a fancy house, but was she truly a woman without anything?    Do you sometimes define yourself as a ‘woman without’?   'Women without' = women without a job, women without children, women without the coolest phone, women without a great friend gro...

  Monday Morning Inspiration April 22 2024 |  EDITION NO. 00229 Hey friend, Let’s talk  Creation .  Paul taught the Philippians, “I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.”  That’s a bold declaration of the faith that Paul had in his omnipotent Creator.  Faith is the power that creates and moves  all things.  Now, don’t abandon ship here- this is not a Sunday School lesson.  Faith is what you used to turn on your lights this morning, remember?  Faith is what you used to start your car too.  You believed the light would turn on if you flicked the switch you wouldn’t have taken the action to do it.  I know you have faith. You’ve got this.     Let’s go back to the first step of that formula for creating your one, amazing life.  If you could feel something you really wanted to feel, what would that feeling be? I wanted to feel happy.  I thought I had put together my one, perfect, happy life....
