Hello, today the question is, how do I get my life in order? I can also phrase the sentence negatively, by asking why do I keep falling in love with the wrong man or woman. I can also ask why do I always argue with my boss, why can’t I find the right job for me, why and, and, and, well, the list goes on and on. I can already give a partial answer, and that is that I have to be able to manage myself. I can speak to that because I have been practicing it myself for 35 years. My name is Brigitte Molnar. I live in Munich, I have two children and a grandchild. I have been retired for five years. Now I just want to carry on on stage. I can’t do that at school anymore. Now I’m doing it for you on YouTube, OK? Besides, as a teacher I have always been a therapist, so I have been a therapist for 20 years, and I have been doing dream work for 35 years.
Back to self-management. What needs to be managed? I’m talking about our inner world, inner voices or inner figures. Are you perhaps familiar with the inner child? I mean, everyone has an inner child, because everyone was once a child and the inner child, when you are an adult or even older, is simply the memory of childhood. But it is stored here “in the brain”, as a pattern, so in the connections of the nerve cells, in the messenger substances, everything is there. But that will come later. So I want to explain the inner child to you. And now I’ll just take a longitudinal section of a life, because it grows with you. You are born as a baby and then you are a toddler and then you are a child, then a teenager and then an apprentice, or whatever. Then you go into work, maybe you have a family, you become parents, grandma, grandpa and all of that is stored as a memory. Therefore, one can speak of the inner child, the inner adolescent, the inner trainee, the inner employee, the inner grandmother and so on – along one’s own biography.
