Lizard Brain vs. The Soul
Our lizard brain lives in a fearful place – it’s job is to protect us from being hurt, killed. It keeps us safe.
Our soul’s job is to live in love and to connect with other souls. Its here to help us learn, grow, deepen our understandings.
When we feel an ongoing pull, desire to do better and be more, and to make a change, that’s our soul’s voice.
When we second-guess, when we self-criticize, when we find excuses, when we see only obstacles, that’s the lizard brain.
Our lives are a constant tug-of-war between the lizard brain and the soul’s calling.
Which one is winning in your life right now?
Which one do you want to win?
If you want to dive deeper and support your soul, here are some thoughts to contemplate to help you keep your focus, gather momentum, and keep the lizard brain in check:
– Imagine yourself on your last day on earth, looking back on your life. Will you regret not answering the call of your soul, or will you be grateful that you did? How would those different choices impact your journey?
– Consider using the lizard brain and that fear as a guide to let you know when you’re moving in the right direction. If you’re finding yourself feeling fear from activities that aren’t truly life-threatening, what is it really protecting you from? Protecting you from the changes that comes with success, fear of rejection, fear of change? These kinds of fears aren’t life-threatening, but we’re receiving the same signal that we need to stop what we’re doing and move into self-preservation. Imagine what would happen if you could tell your lizard brain “thank you for all that you’re doing to protect me, now I need to take these next steps, and we’ll be ok” – feel free to try that out later today or tomorrow, when you’re about to be vulnerable, share your feelings, put yourself out there.
You’ve got this and you’re going to be ok.
