Conquering Little Voices

We all have little voices inside us that
try to sabotage us with their suggestions.
Negative comments that can derail us
or get our attention and consideration.

In order to conquer their destructive ideas,
we need to first be aware of what they say.
Write down exactly what you are hearing
or feeling inside then change it to two positives.

Example-you hear...You are really dumb.
My action is to write that down and then
write two opposite positives like I'm really
quite smart but do make mistakes sometimes.

Or you can react with humorous comments
like: Aren't we all a little dumb now and then?
But I don't plan on remaining that way for long
with your help. Thanks so much for the insights.

A sense of humor+self awareness does help.
Don't live life in numbness or self berating.
You deserve better. Conquer those voices,
take control of you and direct your thoughts.

Become your own best friend and cheerleader!
