Inner "Voices" as a Committee

An interesting metaphor is to view all of our "selves" as a committee. This often explains why it is sometimes difficult to make a decision or to finish a task. We all know what happens when a decision is made by a committee. One person wants one thing, another wants something else, and all too often nothing gets done.

If you can get to know the members of your own "inner committee", and then allow them to express themselves clearly, then YOU as a mindfully conscious person can begin to make the decision instead of allowing whichever part of you happens to grab control at a particular moment to make the decisions.

Wow, I love metaphors!
