Back to blog name your brain

  I have been ignoring all my blogs except my secret one. Time to change that.

While mining Crystals I did a thing that had a negative result and I scolded myself out loud and The Wizard of Aim heard me. She pointed out that when I do that I call myself Marilyn. 

This got me thinking about the phycology of naming your brain or your Anxiety. 

I know I have three sides )0( and I suppose I do use different names for them all. They are all my names Marilyn is used to being criticized and such. And Strawberry 🍓 she is strong and is independent and such. Then there is my Middle name and she is very sensitive and cares way deep and I hide her because the world is cold and mean. I don't show that side she is very hidden.

Ironically while I claim Mwynwen she feels more proper when folks use that name I stand taller 😆 it triggers my heritage I think, grandmother telling me the Tale of Welsh women putting on their husbands hats and hiding behind stuff and shooting to scare off a bandits attacks when the bandits thought theen were away. ( True story)  

I suppose I should rename the side I criticize so much, that way I have less a wounded child mentality with my first given name. 

My mother mostly used nick names.  I give them to everyone too when you bring light into my life you will be sunshine. My cuz is Sugar plum and her children are Lit'l sugar plum. (Also her youngest is also Baby girl like I call my daughter.) Children sometimes are short bread. (Small a little sweet and leave crumbs every where) 

There are a few other special names for special souls but few get a specific name. 

Years ago my Ex husband was Honey. So much so our daughter thought that was what husbands were called. ( Playing Barbies "I will be the mommy and you be the honey" 😆) 

My daughter told me she noticed I still don't call my ex by his given name. If I do I use his full first name. I don't call him Honey though. Discussing him is often physically hard as such I have trouble coming up with a name for him at all. 

I can't think 🤔 of a name to give my negative brain. But I have arguments with Marilyn to get over herself, get out of bed and do the things she needs to do for self, by self.
