The voice is the running inner monologue and/or stream of images you hear and see inside your mind. You might believe that voice is you, many people do. It’s actually just part of your mental processing. Your brain thinks to make sense of things, figure them out and solve problems. When thoughts become so automatic they appear to run beyond your conscious control, they turn into a thought stream that can seem alive.
What makes if clear that the voice is not you, and that’s it’s not alive, is that it’s not constant. In other words, your thoughts can stop and the voice can go silent, and what’s left? The listener! You! You’re still alive regardless of whether there’s a thought or not.
The key is to create enough distance between yourself the listener and the thoughts.
The more you identify with and as the voice, the more you see life as full of problems.
That’s right! You got it! The voice inside your head, as much as it interferes to solve problems, often uses fear to hold your attention just like the bully does.
Aha! Which means you must recognize when you’re feeding the bully pattern in your head and cut the bully food there too.
Which brings us to WHY to slow down or stop the voice each day and whenever you notice it getting louder, meaner, more aggressive.
What goes on inside you is reflected in your reality.
Change what’s going on inside and outside by spending more time, more focus without judgment.
Watch your awareness grow stronger, your senses sharper as your whole body starts to align with the consciousness that used to be hijacked by all those spinning thoughts.
Do this daily to make it your new automatic setting. Imagine how unstoppable you’ll be after you’ve kicked the habit of listening to the voice in your head and whenever it starts to be a bully. Get rid of that primary bully and every other will be easier afterward.
Have a wonderful week!
