Beginning August 25th, I'm taking part in a 6 week (40 day) transformation of my Inner Mean Girl (known to some as the inner critic), and let me tell you... there is A LOT of work to be done with her because she REALLY isn't the nicest of girls at the moment.
If you're interested in joining me OR you would, also, like to become a Self Love Ambassador, there's still time! I hope you'll join us because I really believe that the Self Love revolution that is being kick-started IS the first step toward world peace. If we're all happy with ourselves... what's the point in going to war? ;-) Dh and his comrades will be out of a job, of course, but hey! It's a risk that I'm willing to take. lol
So... why DID I decide to join in the Inner Mean Girl Cleanse? Well, as I mentioned before, I'm beginning a journey within...
Admittedly, I have recently found myself becoming really rather depressed. So much so that I did go in to speak to my doc about getting on some meds. We both agreed that it is a situational depression, given that it does tend to occur when Dh is deployed. BUT, as I've begun to explore within, I've realized that it is so much more!
My Inner Mean Girl likes to whisper in my ear. She likes to convince me that things aren't good enough around here and that I lack any real help; that my elder kids don't do anything, and that I have to do it ALL on my own. How can ANYONE be happy when they have such a negative voice nattering in their ear??
And she doesn't stop there... She likes to tell me that all the exercise that I'd been doing didn't do me a bit of good. I'm still "FAT".
And my writing... She likes to convince me that I have nothing to say that any one would be remotely interested in reading. It didn't help at one point recently when the visits and comments to my blog seemingly dropped off and articles that I had written didn't seem to get placed. It only seemed to reinforce what my Inner Mean Girl was saying, which added to the depression and my lack of desire to write anything. She had helped me to lose sight of why I really do this, any of it! For ME! Because I ENJOY it! And anyone getting anything out of it really is secondary to that... I had forgotten that.
So, this journey that I have embarked on is not only an attempt to change her voice to a more positive one... It is SO MUCH MORE than that for me. My journey is to consciously get in touch with that part of me that spans the ages; that part is Divine and something of a superheroine. The Inner Mean Girl Cleanse is part and parcel to that goal.
I hope you will continue to join me because it's sure to be an interesting journey!
I am participating in the Inner Mean Girl 40-day Cleanse as a Self-Love Ambassador.
To thank me for my participation, I will receive a self-love gift from the founders of
the Inner Mean Girl Reform School
