By writing it down ("giving them the podium"), by *engaging* the voice, I can start to dig into what's really going on. For instance, I often find that the scolding cynic is motivated by *fear* of something, and is trying to protect me/us in the only way she knows how. If I can engage that voice and discover what the root of the problem is, then I can respond to that voice in a way that honors us both. Sometimes it's as simple as saying (to the voice), "Thank you. I realize you're trying to help." and then I can move forward. I want to embrace all of those voices. I don't want to fight with them, ignore them, or let them call all the shots.

I hate the bad voices, but can't help wondering if there is a little truth in them, or more importantly, a little use in them. Like the one that says I'm not good enough... could that one spur me to higher heights?? Or the one that says I'm not going fast enough... could that one keep me moving? Maybe the I'm too tired one is there to remind me to take care of myself? I love your ideas for getting that gremlin team whipped into shape so that it is productive, rather than destructive.

That is the toughest to get past. But I like to tell them to piss off and keep trying anyways. I hate it when the “itty bitty shitty committee” becomes a cacophony. That is the toughest to get past.
