This one was difficult not just because of my own internal dialogs, but because suddenly people that I associated with didn’t know what to expect of me. The benefits included a renewed confidence in my writing, massive amounts of ideas for articles, and a honing of my skills. So I stuck with it because it made my life better.

I was putting to work some skills, but without putting my soul, my self or my life into it. If the brain was trained to give a pre-established answer, it will most likely give it, of course, but fact is there is some reaction time. And, depending on how powerful your script is, those internal voices can be pretty strong.

What’s funny about getting that job is that I never had any specific training for that. In a few days we completed a small training. I do believe we all have a system of internal validation and we do come to know when we have done something worthwhile and that is what we should focus on, instead of finding external validation.

This quality allows us to identify changes in our universe and match them to our internal history. So, based on what the stimuli offers, we browse our internal library and pick whatever we think it might be appropriate. The internal dialogue got screwed and I ended up in a worse situation. Which is to withdraw.

Our internal memory will fight our intention to break free reminding us that we’ve “always” been comforted and soothed by that specific person. But our internal memory developed this sense of attachment and will fight back every time we’re trying to break the circle. I guess the more popular term for this is co-dependance.

No matter how “right” that thought may look like in my own internal values system, if it triggers feelings of anger, revenge or fear, it’s a negative thought. My number one trick in doing that is: are they making me feel angry? Am I experiencing feelings of fear and abandonment? If yes, that’s a negative thought.
