Ancient lore tells us that there's a magical genie who lives in a lamp and
the person who possesses that lamp has the power to invoke wishes
and desires beyond our wildest dreams.
If I told you that Genie lives in you, would you believe me? Maybe not.
But if I told you that there was another character who lives in you and
complains, whines and was negative about your day to day life as well
as your dreams, would you believe me then? I'll bet you would.
Because we are all far too familiar with this character whom I call the
Gremlin.
The Gremlin is that part of you who keeps your fears, anxieties and
doubts alive and well. His entire purpose is to maintain control over you,
keeping things status quo even if you're not happy with the status quo.
He believes his purpose is to keep you safe by not allowing you to take
risks, speak up for yourself or create changes in your life that you know
in your heart need changing. And, he definitely wants to make sure the
Genie doesn't make an appearance. Because once the Genie shows
up, the Gremlin knows he's no longer in charge.
For way too many years I lived with the Gremlin as the one in charge
until I learned how to quiet him enough to awaken my Genie Within
making him my full time partner and only allowing my Gremlin to visit
occasionally.
Now you may ask, "Why allow the Gremlin to visit even occasionally?"
Because it's important to realize your Gremlin will always be there.
You're human and it's only natural to have both negative and positive
thoughts show up throughout your life. But the trick is, to be aware of
your Gremlin when he's around so you can consciously quiet him
enough to allow yourself to feel a little bit better about a situation and
give the Genie Within the chance to come to the surface and help you
find better solutions, ask different questions and attract into your life
more of what you do want, not what you don't want. Which, by the way, is
what the Gremlin does. Attracts what you don't want.
To get you started in shifting from your Gremlin thinking to your Genie
thinking I'd like to share with you 5 Tips To Quiet Your Gremlin and 5
questions to Awaken your Genie Within.
1. Let your Gremlin be when he starts up with you.
Focus more on your body and see where he's showing up in your body.
Does your head hurt? Is your neck stiff? Is your stomach in a knot?
Breathe into those areas until you feel some relief.
2. Give your Gremlin permission to rant and rave for a bit.
Don't judge him, don't panic over what's being said or resist anything.
Just let it be. Allow all the Gremlin's ranting to pour out. Sit back and
enjoy it for a change. Put a smile on your face as you listen calmly.
Separate yourself from that Gremlin who's doing all the whining and
complaining.
3. Ask him questions.
Get as intimate as you can with him. Find out what sets him off. Then
give him answers as if you were talking to a four year old trying to calm
him/her of the dark before falling asleep.
4. Pick a name for your Gremlin and talk to him out loud.
Using his name, tell him everything is going to be fine and he can take a
rest for now. Keep talking to him until he's less noisy. Talking out loud
will create a shift inside of you that won't happen when you just think
about the conversation. By the way, my Gremlin's name is Gertrude.
5. Be gentle with your Gremlin.
Visualize your arm around him, soothing him, comforting him, allowing
him to rest his head on your shoulder. Remember, he's scared, he
doesn't want you to fall down and he believes he's doing what's best for
you.
Once your Gremlin is under your control this is when you want to
connect with the Genie within. Your Genie is that part of you that creates
comments, ideas and questions that allow you to feel like your moving
forward instead of being stuck. He'll have you feeling better about
yourself overall.
5 Genie Questions
1. What's working in my life for me?
