Master Your Dragon: The Art of Collaborating with Your Inner Mind
Have you ever felt trapped by your own fears? In this article, you will discover how to learn to collaborate with your mind and make your dragons allies instead of enemies.
“Your dragon is not broken. It just needs a rider who knows where it wants to go.”
A Everyday Story: Marta's Journey
It was a morning like any other, but Marta felt different. Looking in the mirror, the tired face staring back reminded her of a version of herself she no longer recognized. She felt that pressure in her chest, that internal voice whispering criticisms and doubts. "I am not enough," she thought as anxiety overtook her. Days, weeks, years. Always trapped in that cycle of self-criticism and fear.
It was on a rainy afternoon, while sipping coffee in her favorite corner, that an unexpected twist led her to reflect. She ran into an old friend who spoke to her about her own transformation journey. The message was clear: listen rather than fight with your inner dragon. “Fear is not your enemy, Marta. It just seeks to ensure you are safe,” her friend told her. That phrase resonated in her mind.
Seeing her friend smile, having found a path to inner peace, gave Marta a new perspective. She felt inspired. “Perhaps my dragon isn’t so bad after all,” she thought.
What is Happening Inside: Understanding Our Inner Dragons
What Marta experienced is common. The dragon, or our reptilian brain, reacts to fear, insecurity, and the need for control. This primary instinct seeks to protect us but often becomes an internal saboteur. Like a guardian dragon, it wants to watch over us and alert us to dangers. However, if we do not give it direction or clarity, it can become overwhelming.
Within the framework of neuroscience, considering Marta's internal voice, we identify the famous survival mode. Her monkey mind, scattered and filled with racing thoughts, caused her to feel trapped. Playing with this metaphor of the internal voice and the dragon helps better understand how this cycle is created.
In this sense, ANTs (Automatic Negative Thoughts) act as little dragons in our mind that whisper doubts and fears:
- “You will never be good at this.”
- “You are going to fail.”
- “What will others say?”
We are not broken; we are simply waiting to be retrained. Familiarity with our dragons can open the doors to positive transformation.
Practical Tool: Create Your Reins
One of the most powerful tools in a dragon rider's arsenal is the verbal reigns. This tool consists of how we speak to ourselves, creating an intentional use of language to focus our attention and reprogram our internal messages. Here’s how to present it:
- Instead of saying “I have to,” say “I choose to.” This small word can change the entire focus of your day.
- Open an internal conversation. Tell your dragon that you are willing to collaborate, not to fight.
Remember that how you talk to yourself influences not only your emotional state but also your actions. Therefore, giving voice to your intentions is crucial for your dragon to follow you in challenging moments.
Deep Exercise: A Conversation with Your Dragon
Take a few minutes and write a letter to your dragon. Ask it what it fears and what it needs to feel safe. Give it space to express itself. This exercise can be liberating and provide you with new insights about the role your dragon plays in your life.
Then, respond to your dragon. In your letter, show it that you understand, and that you want to work together. Suggest ways to collaborate and explore how you can support it instead of resisting it.
Conclusion: The New Dance Between Rider and Dragon
Returning to Marta, she decided to listen and dialogue with her dragon, rather than ignore it or try to dominate it. She learned that in the calm of that conversation, she could find the tools she truly needed to move forward.
Now, instead of feeling trapped, she feels allied with her dragon, ready to face the challenges of daily life. The key is to allow this collaboration to occur, embracing the complexity of her emotions and strengthening the connection with her inner voice.
