Day 340 - My inner board (bored) meeting https://golifelog.com/posts/my-inner-board-bored-meeting-1638753988101
What does your inner voice sound like?
They say your inner voice is the voice that your parents used on you.
Somewhat true. But it can change. My inner voice used to be just a stern, paternalistic coach.
But these days, I’m now adding more voices. I’ve been trying to convene a board meeting instead - the coach is still there, but there’s also a nurturing and motherly guide, a grounded and realistic pragmatist, and a trickster god.
It’s not perfect. Sometimes other voices take over and become dominant for a while. The best is always when the different voices work in unison, not in conflict. A single dominant voice usually bring poorer outcomes.
But it’s a start to better inner conversations.
