Your inner b**** is reading over your shoulder right now and she needs to hear it too.
1. I call her out by name
The second she shows up with “you’re too tired” or “you’ll start Monday” I say it out loud. That’s your inner b**** talking. Not you. Not the real you. The scared, small, comfortable version of you that would rather stay stuck than face the work. AS IF she gets a say.
2. I remind her of her track record
Girl... she has never once been right. Every time you listened to her you ended up exactly where you didn’t want to be. She has a zero percent success rate. Why are we still taking her calls?
3. I do not negotiate. I do not explain. I just go.
She wants a debate. She wants you to justify yourself. She feeds on hesitation. So I give her nothing. Gym clothes on. Out the door. YOU WOULD NEVER let someone talk to your best friend the way she talks to you. So why are you letting her talk to you like that?
4. I make the decision the night before so she wakes up too late
By the time she starts her little speech I am already moving. She hates that. She cannot sabotage a decision that has already been made. Take the choice away from her entirely.
5. I remember she is the version of me that gave up
She is not wisdom. She is not intuition. She is the version of me that settled, that shrunk, that decided she wasn’t worth the effort. She does not get a vote in who I am becoming.
6. I ask her one question and watch her go quiet
“Has doing it your way ever made me happy?” Not fkn once. Case closed. We’re going.
DM “GOALS” if your inner b**** has been running the show. It is time to fire her. 🔑
