Expert Advice from Within
I use the assistance of a wee small voice in my head, actually it is at least three. I call them Me, Myself, & I. Having lived through many experiences and survived them, I feel they have much to offer my particular dilemmas. One of the personalities I am certain is from imbedded criticisms from early childhood and possibly my paternal grandmother. She was “ever present” in my life from start to her departure. Another soundboard has multiple components one such is my inner child. It is an impossible challenge when shopping, it is responsible for adding things I did not need when marketing, with the promise, I Will eat that or cook that promise! Sure! The third is a logical grown-up version who argues using commonsense. For example, I have a visit coming from my daughter & granddaughter on May 31st. The overall plan was established by Rebecca my granddaughter at the age of sixteen and who had zero experience with planning but lots of impulsivity paying for (example) non-refundable air tickets from Little Rock AR to LaGuardia NY. However, after the purchase, she was notified on two occasions, there were hold overs in So. Carolina first an hour then an hour and a half. In my mind that negates the contractual “non-refundable) status of the contract and purchase. Nevertheless, she undertook this venture and marched onward. Back to my threesome, I found myself frazzled and worrisome and finally had to inquire Why? The answer quite logical was, “no fret my pet!” you are not the one who is travelling just the visitor stopping spot. PHEW! Good answer. Now I am more relaxed.
When seeking outside opinions, one may feel compelled to take advise but this keeps it all in one place. As crazy as it sounds, I find a friend who has listened to me expound about my group comments, is now herself using this to defuse her own neurotic tendencies.
