Gremlins vs. Guides
Do you know what your Gremlin sounds like (aka ego, inner critic, voice of judgement, monkey mind)? Can you easily tell when you’re receiving higher guidance (intuition, wise self, angels, guides)? Many of us struggle with this distinction, especially when it comes to high stakes decisions and situations.
An easy way to tell whether the internal dialogue you’re having is with Gremlin or Guide is simply this: Gremlin thoughts feel bad; Guides feel good.
- Gremlin doesn’t move you into power; Higher guidance does
- Gremlin is fear-based; Higher guidance is love- based
- Gremlin rambles on and on with long explanations; Higher guidance comes in short “feeling” messages (inspiration, spark, inner knowing)
- Gremlin makes your body feel tight, stuck, restricted, with shallow breathing; Higher guidance feels open and light
The next time you’re getting conflicting internal info, use these criteria to filter out gremlin and embrace higher guidance. As you become expert at discerning the difference between Guides and Gremlins, you’ll find life easier and easier to navigate!
