[...] I felt a little ashamed. Would I be letting them down? Will they think I’m a flake? My inner lizard kicked in too: Why would you let go of a good thing? How are you going to make it as a coach [...]

[...] joy win. This has become a kind of mantra for me lately. However, my inner lizard Ozzie rolls his eyes at the whole idea. He would be totally on board with chanting “Let Joy [...]

@Regina ~ I can’t really think of a better compliment than to have you wish you’d written it, thanks so much for that ~ I appreciate you back! *Love* the sideways smile description! And now I’m off to check out your site and blog

Briana,
I LOVE this post… so great. For years, I have done work with somatics and the amydala and reptilian brain. Separately, I have an exercise I give folks that wakes them up to their “Gremlin” (Lizard) and the “Champion” voices (give them names and the like)…but I have never successfully tied them together as you have. I am sideways smiling, wishing I had written this myself… you rock! I’ve already forwarded this post on to about 10 folks in a personal email. Well done, sister.

By the way, your post on your Stuff was great, too. Way to keep it fresh, raw and live. Authenticity is the only way to go… I’m diggin you.

Thanks for your work. I appreciate you.
Regina

@Sarah ~ I wouldn’t be surprised if he was Jane Austen’s lizard, personified: love it.

@Amy ~ Figuring out the soundtrack is definitely the key, because they can be so sneaky, like muzak you forget to notice but rubs you the wrong way unconsciously. Come back and tell me what name you pick out!

@Molly ~ I guess I set myself up for that, huh? No doubt your version is loads better than Gillian’s!

@Susan ~ So cool that you have a physical representation of her! Training soon, right? Hooray

Mine is called Lizzie, and she looks like the neon pink and green and purple sandfilled lizard I bought to remind of the purple and pink and green spots that seem to appear on me (or at least my brain) whenever she takes over my thinking!

My lizards name is Gillian. And she’s crafty, but I’m learning to ignore her because we definitely have different plans for this wild ride. And I prefer my version!

Fabulous Post, Miss Bri. Want to give this talk on Wednesday? I’m serious.

This is such a great post! I know a lot of my lizard’s favorite tunes, but I haven’t yet figured out its name. Something to ponder when it pipes up over this long weekend…

Collins! That is my lizard’s name. After the ridiculous Mr. Collins in Pride & Prejudice that everyone inwardly laughs at and no one can take seriously.
