You missed a spot. You should just take care of that now. You should pay the bills today and get it done. You should start a load of laundry.
Why does that little voice always team up with “the shoulds” to tackle even the strongest of us? I’ve started calling it my little gremlin. It’s part of me, yes, but it’s also separate. And I know this because I can tell it to hush.
Even wearing my superwoman cape, I still have things undone and that bothers me. There’s just never going to be a time when everything is in it’s rightful place, all tasks are finished, and that voice is going to give me permission to rest.
We all have them. Pay those gremlins absolutely no attention. Sing “la, la, la, I can’t hear you” to yourself. Rather, listen within to what you know is right for right now. When you let go of the gremlin’s expectations, you leave yourself open for inspiration and new experiences.
Do you have experience battling the gremlins? How do you tell it to chill?
