Whack A Mole!

Have you ever been to an amusement park and  played Whack-A-Mole ?

You grab a big mallet, then put your tokens in and these “moles” start bobbing up and down in these holes in random order. Your objective it to whack him while he rears his head out of the hole before he can retreat. You must be quick and look at all the holes at once whacking rapidly in order to get the most points.

With that said, do you realize that your reactions to most situations is a product of all your previous experiences? Thus created by the “old voices” in your head? One of the best exercises you can do to change your life and enjoy your life more, is to “Whack” those old negative voices. Yes! Really!!! … Visualize the mallet whacking away at the old voices..

Then.. enter the “New Voices” –TaDaaa!! , the ones that tell you you are worthy. The ones that tell you it’s okay to make a mistake – as long as you learn something from it. The ones that tells you God Loves You.

Don’t get me wrong. This exercise does NOT come easy. First, you have to become aware that you are actually listening to “old voices”… Voices that belong to a parent, a sibling, a boss, a co-worker; from a former relationship;  or from someone you’d like to choose not to listen to anymore.
Next you “Whack that Voice”….

Then you replace it with a conscience thought of worthiness. It helps to write down statements of worthiness – positive affirmations – so you are best prepared to face the voices. And most importantly, you must PRACTICE.  I once heard a renown psychologist proclaim, “practice does not make perfect, practice makes permanent!” This statement has resonated with me for some 15 years since I heard it. First of all, no one is perfect . We can only strive for it, as it will never be reached. Secondly, the only way to subdue the voices is to PRACTICE.

So start whacking!!
