When The Drunk Monkey is playing the role of The Assassin, it drives you to go on the attack. This might be in the form of mentally fantasizing about revenge. It is often played out in your conversations as you build a case as to why other people are wrong or should be stopped. In the extreme, it gets you to use negative political force against people, take revenge, and it attacks what it doesn’t agree with.

When the Drunk Monkey playing the role of the Psychic it believes that it can predict the future. It wastes its time pretending it knows what’s going to happen, and then acts accordingly. (Most often the future it imagines is negative so it starts being upset, agitated and mad for no reason.) The Psychic is constantly frustrated because the reality of today almost never matches what it predicted. And, it arrogantly believes that the world “should be” the way it has predicted then gets upset when its predictions don’t come true.
When The Drunk Monkey is playing the role of The Bully it uses its power, opinions and judgments against you. There is no escape from the ongoing assault. It tells you that you are too fat, too short, not smart enough, not attractive enough, not a good parent, on and on into eternity… The Bully beats you up and beats up other people. It’s just plain old mean. See it for what it is; scared of the unknown, scared of change, scared of not being in control.
When The Drunk Monkey is playing the role of The Judge it believes that it is the authority on life. The Judge believes that it knows what is right or wrong for all people and all situations. It holds people accountable to agreements that they never made and condemns them for not following its rules. The Judge is repelling. People can hear The Drunk Monkey’s judgmental tone in even the most casual conversations and they secretly fear that it will judge them too. People protect themselves from The Judge by keeping it at arms length. Opportunities do not come easily…
https://youtu.be/JihOl2eqVc4 Do you really need to achieve all your goals in order to have peace of mind and start enjoying your life? For most, the answer is an obvious, “Duh! Of course, you do”. Is it possible to achieve work-life balance in today’s demanding and quickly changing world? Most top performers believe the answer is no. Working hard to achieve your goals before you give yourself time to enjoy your puts you on the treadmill from hell. After coaching top performers for the last 25 years, I have seen first hand that someday in the future won’t be better than today…
When The Drunk Monkey is playing the role of The Analyzer it overthinks everything. The Analyzer spends endless time looking at possibilities, trying to decide if something is right or wrong. Ultimately, it is paralyzed by all this “thinking it through” and it finds itself immobilized by its own analytic nature.
When The Drunk Monkey is playing the role of The Worrier it fears the unknown. The Worrier is trying to protect you from all of the danger that doesn’t exist in the world. The Worrier Drunk Monkey looks at what is wrong with life, questions peoples motives and seeks out potential destruction. It visualizes negative scenarios over and over and creates unwanted stress in the body.
