Getting to Know Your Dragon: The Power of Transforming Your Mind
Today you will understand why your mind sometimes sabotages you and how to start turning it into your ally.
“It is not your shadow nor your burden. It is your flight companion.”
An Unexpected Opportunity
Imagine one day you wake up feeling overwhelmed. The weight of expectations, obligations, and everyday problems seems to crush you. Getting out of bed feels like a monumental challenge. With each step, the voice of your dragon grows louder: “You can’t do it. What if you fail? It’s better to stay here.” In that internal struggle, there’s a part of you that longs to move forward, that dreams of flying, but the dragon has taken control.
As you go through your day, that voice becomes a constant: “You aren’t enough,” “You always end up failing,” “People judge you.” But what if I told you that this dragon, this voice, is not your enemy? There is a chance that this dragon is your flight companion, waiting for you to recognize it and lead it.
Understanding the Mind and the Dragon
The automatic mind, the dragon, is an essential part of your being. It represents your reptilian brain, the primary instinct that reacts from fear and protection, avoiding danger. It is always alert, always on the lookout for potential threats. Its function is to protect you, but often, it does so in a way that limits you.
This automatic reaction can manifest through intrusive thoughts or limiting narratives. It is common for the dragon to speak in terms of scarcity and danger, putting your emotions into survival mode. Anxiety, fear, and insecurity are its favorite weapons. What you need to understand is that it is not broken — it is just poorly trained — and you can learn to converse with it.
Practical Tool: Master Your Reins
To begin transforming your relationship with the dragon, you first need to learn how to use the reins of your mind. These reins are tools that allow you to guide your dragon toward the path you desire.
- Verbal Rein: Change your words and you will change your actions. Replace “I have to” with “I choose” and start taking control of your decisions.
- Visual Rein: What you look at defines what you see. As you start your day, ask yourself: “What image do I want to focus on?” This sets a clear purpose for your actions.
- Emotional Rein: Name your emotions as if they were visitors. Remember that what you feel is not who you are. This simple change can liberate you from the emotional weight that paralyzes you.
- Behavioral Rein: Daily action, even if simple, leads you toward your goals. Create a habit that defines your day and brings you closer to your objective.
An Exercise to Dive Deeper
Now I invite you to an introspective exercise. Take a moment to reflect on the phrases your dragon repeats when you feel like you’re failing. Write them down on a piece of paper. When you finish, change each of those phrases into affirmations you would tell a person you love. For example, if your dragon says “I am not enough,” transform that idea to “I am valuable and I am constantly growing.” This exercise will not only connect you with your emotions but will also allow you to rewrite the narratives that have been dictating your life.
The New Path
Imagine how your life would change if you began to see that dragon not as your enemy, but as an indispensable part of your being. If instead of fighting against its shouts, you choose to listen to them and converse with it. Visualize every time you face a challenge, having the opportunity to say to it: “What I am, have, and do is already enough.” In this approach, you take a step toward a future full of possibilities, where anxiety and insecurity transform into courage and confidence.
