Mind Mutter Matters


When people complain about their mind mutter being critical, I share this info with them:

Your mind mutter just repeats back information to you that you gave it. It's like a broken record player repeating stuff, over and over, that it learned from you before you reached the age of 10.

I'm guessing you've learned some stuff since then, and you've made better life choices along the way.

You need to tell your mind mutter about the new way. When it complains, calmly affirm the new belief or decision that you have made.

Say: "that's the old way. The new decision/belief is now..." and then clearly define the new opinion, decision or belief, and that will be that.

Mind mutter has your best interests at heart, but sometimes it just needs to be recalibrated.
