Pedro is a blend of all the people in my life who put me down and held me back. They meant well but it was not good for me. When I hear those voices telling me I messed up, that I am not good etc, I know it is one part of me but not me as a whole...
Now I must name my inner critic something that I know they won't like. Something unassociated with anyone I know in my life as to not draw ill feelings toward that person. You have given me a bit of mental homework to do. Not only knowing my inner demons but also trying to give my inner wisdom the microphone in the board room. I know this isn't a one off fix but more of an evolving methodology to deal with one's inner self. Thank you for the words of wisdom.
I named my inner critic Trixy. She is always trying to trick me into believing I am not good enough. She is the loudest in the room. I even wrote my first song about her. I named another voice Grace. She is quiet. I think. Or maybe I don’t acknowledge her when she speaks. She is the voice that tells me I rock and I good enough and wonderful. I had not thought about until reading this that perhaps I need to name Anger and Fear too. This was a great article thank you.
Beautifully written, Manuel. I don't have a 'Pedro' (anymore). It's me and my thoughts coming to a point where I'm only interested in emotional wisdom and clarity.
What just a minute... you've just got a Pedro? I've got a full-blown Itty Bitty Shitty Committee....I can't even remember all their names....
Haha, I call Pedro to all of them. They dont like it :)
Never better said! Good old down to earth words of advice and enlightening wisdom. Beautiful! Thanks
🤜💥🤛
Don Pedro and his family. One hell of a family that must be kicked in the butt.
Haha, it is. We could write a telenovela about it :)
What's the story behind Pedro?
And what does it mean for me that the voice in my head keeps telling me to run the country coast to coast?
Haha, "Run Forest, Run"
