Let's conduct a simple experiment:
"Speak this sentence in your own voice."
That's it! The voice you just heard leading you through those words is your inner voice...the very one directing you in everything you undertake.
You interact with your voice countless times daily. It could be conveying your own thoughts, or the thoughts of others transformed into messages that you give meaning to. This chain of "meaningful words" becomes the foundation of your belief system.
What are the common themes your voice is always sharing? It's quite easy to pinpoint. Your inner voice resonates:
- During your solitary moments
- While tackling something challenging
- Responding to a remark you disagree with
- Upon waking up
- When a team member stumbles
- Upon failing to achieve a goal or complete a task
- Following a heated discussion
- In moments of discouragement
Your inner voice will continually vie for your attention. Often, you might just suppress it, but it persistently resurfaces.
Do Your Words:
Build or Destroy?
- Boost your morale or crush your confidence?
- Infuse purpose and tranquility or foster despair?
- Ignite creativity or trap you in fallacy?
- Magnify contributions or discourage value creation?
- Articulate deepest desires or imprison you for life?
- Empower you or make you succumb to perceived fears?
- Prompt daily action or delay your vision?
Every physical action or journey is sparked by a word, and every word we utter is first born within our mind's "inner voice."
You possess an internal voice that is in constant communication with you. If it's hard to discern, let's undertake a simple exercise that will aid you in instantly recognizing your inner voice's sound and feeling.
