    The Drunk Monkey is that non-stop talking, running commentary in your head that is constantly judging, assessing and keeping you safe from things that aren’t dangerous.

    It’s constant need to think, review, consider, evaluate and comment blocks your ability to experience peace of mind, and to achieve your biggest goals. Ultimately, The Drunk Monkey is the underlying cause of worry, stress and frustration.

    He looks harmless enough. But once you really start to pay attention, you’ll see this sucker is robbing your happiness, blocking you from getting the things that you truly desire, and even keeping the people that you love at arms length. 

    To The Drunk Monkey, life is scary. And it’s job is to protect you – even from your dreams and people that mean the most to you. Yes, it’s crazy. But once you learn to tame the insanity that he brings to everyday life, the faster you start manifesting your deepest dreams and desires.
