Inner voice




While we are all familiar with our external speech or voice, we also have another voice that we work with and interact with daily. This is our "inner voice". While at first glance you may think: "what inner voice"? But when you come right down to it, we are all familiar with our inner voice. Our inner voice is that small utterance that comes from deep within us, whose job it is to provide us with guidance. This kind of communication is going on throughout our brains all day long and sometimes into the night.

Remember those days when we were children and never feared failure or rejection. We would attempt to try anything. Our inner voice would tell that anything is possible. Kids are brave and take risk (maybe that is a reason why physically we hurt ourselves). As we grow older, sometimes this inner voice can prevent us from following our dreams or taking risks in life. The inner voice is shaped from years of successes and failures; it also is affected by what other people say to us over the years. If you experience many environments growing up which do not support you. eg. People saying your not good enough, you can't do it, your dumb", then these start to shape what your inner voice says to you. Therefore, this can limit you in your future and prevent you from stepping out of your comfort zone and challenging yourself. You may hear two voices; a voice that says yes I can do it and another voice yelling back saying no, you can't do anything. You can really do anything you want in life so do not let the evil voice prevent you from making the most of your life.
