listening to my inner voice

 I often find myself collecting the opinions of others on issues I am dealing with or decisions I need to make.  It's really habitual.  I do it with so many decisions it sometimes seems silly.  Sure it is important to get the opinions of others at times, but I take it to extremes.  I have been known to research the purchase of a cell phone for weeks and weeks.  It's like I am afraid there's a penalty if I don't find the perfect answer or product even though chances are that no such thing exists.  I use other people as a sounding board too much and rely on my inner voice too little.  It's though I don't trust my own judgment which is definitely a problem in my work.  It is a serious time waster, slowing me way down at times and even stopping me in my tracks at others.  I have recently found myself saying I need to trust my own first thoughts on things more, but keep falling back into the old patterns.  I'm going to work toward listening to my inner thoughts more and trusting them.

i have found...

as a started, i would listen to my inner voice on little things and still not listen to it on larger things. as time went by, listening to my inner voice on the little things, helped make my inner voice grow louder and it helped me step up to listening to my inner voice on the larger things in life.

 

just remember, it takes time. the good part is, you are becoming self aware of your inner voice. keep it up! your doing great!

I have been there.

 I know the agony you are going through. Another name for it is people pleaser. You don't trust your inner voice because you are afraid others will disagree. Oh how many years I wasted living like that. 

 

Step out, even if it is little steps at first to make decisions on your own. Fight the temptation to ask others opinions and go for it on your own. Once you start seeing your decisions are the right ones and the positive feedback starts coming in you will build the inner self that is crying out to be heard. 

 

It is hard to step out I won't fool you. But it is worth it and I know you can do it.
