Have you ever felt that a monster is taking over you sometimes? How come all of a sudden you can feel so down and sad?
That little voice, always negative and doubtful, that keeps reminding you off all those times you failed… if you listen to it and you feed it pessimistic thoughts…it becomes the GREMLIN. The most difficult of the 4 internal blockers, because it’s so close to who we are, that in some cases we come to believe that the gremlin is US.
How does the gremlin come to occupy our thoughts? What does it take to overcome it? Where should we start?
In this episode we are going to take our gremlin, our inner critic for a walk. And with the 5 steps that we present here, trying to understand why do we give it so much attention.
A useful tip on recognising limiting beliefs: each time we use the words “always”, “never”, “everything” , we should pay attention because there is a blockage hiding behind it.
We have tackled the GAIL scale of internal blockers here in these episodes of #YourCoachingJourney
