Day 5 and the inner voice

Today's chapter on the inner voice is one of my favorites.  It's funny how even though I've gone through it several times before, it still found a new way to impact me.

Recently I've been noticing the impact of negative self talk that I do to myself.  It's destructive, makes me feel horribly about myself, and doesn't aid me at all in finding a solution to my problems.  At best I just create so much pain that the current situation becomes untenable and I work to find a way out.  However, there are SO many better ways of accomplishing this.  

Listening to your inner voice is one of those ways.  Most things that have gone wrong for me, well, I knew that I was leaving an opening for them to go wrong.  My inner voice knew at least.  I could have prevented so much by just listening to it.  It also never judges me and criticizes me.  I could have made all those changes while still showing myself the love and acceptance that I deserve and am worthy of.

So I have a lot of "could have's" in the last paragraph.  That's simply true.  I could have done a lot of things.  I'm still not judging myself for it, and just using it as a powerful lesson of what is really possible when you care about yourself enough to make the right decisions.  Most of us block our own success and it's time to love myself enough to allow my own success.  My inner voice is going to play a big part in that.

In case I look back on this later, I'd just like to remind myself of all the positive self talk I've been doing in the morning.  The ban on planning the day and any other source of worry, anxiety, etc makes a huge difference.  Going to bed and waking up thinking of the best things in your life has a way of putting a smile on your face the entire rest of the day.
