Hi Hollywoo
I imagine you'd agree that a skill or tool is only good if it works or if you can relate to it, otherwise it's simply theory without the ability to practice it.
Sometimes I wish my parents had given me a stack of skills and tools. Would have made life so much easier but, of course, our parents can't give us what wasn't given to them. Go back through the generations and we'd probably find a number of the skills or tools we so desperately need were never there. So, it's like you're the first in generations to feel the serious need to access certain tools and develop certain skills. Perhaps the need was there in previous generations but not to the point where you feel you can't live without those things. You really feel the struggle, trying to live without them.
It's like how do you manage an entire audience of inner critics or as some people put it 'inner demons', collectively heckling you, telling you what a pathetic job you're doing and telling you what a waste of space you are, among other things? How do you develop a kind of entourage of inner supporters, cheering you on, telling you to ignore the lies and condemnation? Among them perhaps there's the inner sage, director (that sets solid direction to follow, when self doubt threatens to take over), the clown with the lighthearted take on what can feel so depressing at times and so on. How to develop an inner cheer squad when no one's told you how to do it in a way that's completely relatable?
How to act when such a brutal audience has your full attention?
