I'm not ashamed to say that I get voices inside my head!
Well...OK...perhaps not voices, plural...just a voice, singular.
And you do, too, right?
(Please say yes!)
Now...this voice of mine is constantly directing me towards doing new things (as well as reminding me of things that I perhaps should have done better in the past!)
The trouble is that, most of the time...it is a challenge to get this voice to view things positively!
You know what I mean, don't you?
Do have that self-same problem?
Well...I used to listen to the negative voice a lot more than I do now.
In fact...I just tell it to 'shut up'!
I know that my little voice can be used one of two ways - for good, constructive comments - or for bad, negative ones.
And...I also know that whichever one I hear the most of literally INFECTS the other type for ages after I focus on it.
Sometimes it seems as if there is a 'negative virus' going around inside my head as I battle to see the positive in some situations.
Tell me you've been there too, haven't you?
The trick is to ALWAYS laugh in the face of that voice that tells you why you can't do something.
After all...how could it possibly KNOW that you can't if you have never even attempted it?
You see - that voice is based upon your PREVIOUS experiences up to this very second.
So...it stands to reason that it is BOUND to try to convince that you aren't able to do more than you ever have before...just because it doesn't BELIEVE that YOU can!
Except...I DO believe that I can.
And...YOU should BELIEVE that you CAN, too.
That voice is there to make sure that you have a sense of reality in your life based upon what you KNOW.
Yet...based on my experience...it's what you don't YET know that could be holding you back.
For example...if I personally hadn't challenged that voice over the last couple of years - I would never have learned the completely NEW skills that I found that I had a talent for all along.
I wonder how many 'new' skills YOU have...that you haven't yet come across - just because your voice is telling you that you could never BE the sort of person who has them.
Except now YOU (and not that voice) KNOW different, don't you?
