I have been in several conversations with my friends about the I-don’t-feel-like-it voice. It’s the voice that comes on with a winy tone when it’s time to get off the coach and get something done.  

In his book, “Self-Coaching”, Joseph Luciani calls this type of voice the child voice within and gives us ideas on conversing with it. 

It reminded me of one of my childhood friends: we were very close and I was the one who decided most of the time. So just because I live with a I-don’t-feel-like-it voice doesn’t mean it has to decide what I do or don’t do. 

And something else I read made me think that noticing being swayed by this voice could be part of being faced with my humanity.

All this jumble of thoughts lead me to decide that one of my goal this year, as part of increasing self-love, is to befriend my I-don’t-feel-like-it voice. What is that voice / part of yourself that you could befriend while not allowing it to control your life?
