What the Weasel?

What in the World is a Brain Weasel?




Brain Weasels (weasels for short) are snarling, bitey personifications of the negativity inside of our heads. They're the ghost-memories of red-pen wielding teachers, echoes of that first boyfriend who said we weren't pretty enough, shadows of authority figures who told us we'd never amount to anything. Weasels are our gnawing self-doubts, our inner critics, the bully-hall monitors of our minds... and they are liars.




This journal is a weasel-free space.




You have permission to use it however you like.

Maybe you'll use it to plan and track your self-care (did you know that weasels hate self-care?) Maybe use a page or two and create a record of your successes -- So you got out of bed today? HOORAY! Celebrate by recording that success here. You might write down the lies your weasels tell you, then debunk those lies. (I find that bullet points, arrows and underlining makes pointing out the bunk extra enjoyable.)




There are no rules, and if the weasels insist that there are rules, break those rules!
