As for the voice inside. Michael singer changed my life. I used to believe her, that voice inside, but she is the biggest liar of all. Her goal is to protect my past... and the dangers my past experience brought me. And, so I anticipate danger (or laziness) around every corner, when in fact, it's just not. I silence her the minutes she tells me you didn't answer my email because you hate me (Hypothetically of course). I am braver, less worried and stress since I told her to take a hike.

The nice thing about being 82 is that nobody judges me for what I don't do or accomplish...just for what I do. So being accused of being lazy is off the table for others. Now if I could just get it off my internal table, I would be set for twilight years of relatively inactive bliss!
