Meet your Self-Talk Amigos, learn the tools (Rabbit-Hole Alarm, Thought-Catcher), and shift from auto-pilot to creative presence.
When we run on auto-pilot, the ego’s safety patterns try to control, fix, and predict. That works until it shrinks our world. The shift isn’t to fight the ego, but to notice the loop, name what’s present, and choose a small creative action. That is the move from Default → Creative.
Two gentle tools help: the Rabbit-Hole Alarm (a pause when spirals start) and the Thought-Catcher (a way to steer the conversation you’re having with yourself).
Three lenses for your inner dialogue: Identity (who I think I am), Solutions (how I approach problems), and Interaction (how I relate). Together they shape what you notice, feel, and do.
A practical tip: when tension rises, ask one question from each amigo. Identity: “What story about me is loud?” Solutions: “What tiny next step is available?” Interaction: “What tone do I want to bring?”
Three lenses shape experience: Identity (who I believe I am), Solutions (how I approach problems), and Interaction (the way I relate). These are not boxes to tick but conversations to keep alive. Practice is simple: tiny reps, clear feedback, generous curiosity.
Use them like way-finding markers on a trail: if I’m stuck, which amigo needs a kinder voice right now?
Creativity isn’t just art—it’s how we make sense, make meaning, and make real. When bias narrows our view, presence widens it again. Distortion loses power when met with curiosity.
Pair emotion with a new cue (“fire & rewire”): feel the charge, breathe, and choose one small step aligned with values. That’s how the nervous system learns safety in motion.
The heart and brain are in constant conversation. When we settle into breath and sincerity, signals grow coherent, intuition gets clearer, and action feels kinder.
Notice feeling-sense cues—light, dense, colorful, a ping. Let meaning emerge without forcing it.
Relationships mirror our inner stance. The wealth is in presence: listening fully, naming truth gently, and letting reciprocity breathe. Integrity—what I choose when no one is watching—sets the field for trust.
Use a tiny practice: Pause → Name → One honest act. Reaction relaxes; response appears.
