I Need to Quiet the Voices in My Head!

We’ve all been there before – we have these conversations in our heads with ourselves where we’re reenacting situations or maybe using a toxic tone. This my friends is called getting in your head and it wreaks havoc. Can you imagine how peaceful the world would be if we stopped listening to those negative, unruly voices in our head? Those voices that keep us up at night and have the ability to turn an innocuous situation into world-ending catastrophes.

Sometimes the voices are triggered when you least expect them. Like when you’re running errands and drive past a woman in a flower dress that reminds you of something Mrs. Jackson wore. It all begins to unravel in your head and you start defending yourself to Mrs. Jackson. You give her an earful and make sure to include all of your accomplishments since that last time you saw her. But in reality, Mrs. Jackson can't hear you and she doesn’t even remember you. So let’s try this again. When spotting your own “Mrs. Jackson” in the wild, say to yourself: “Hi Mrs. Jackson, I am so blessed you taught me to appreciate my self-worth. Bye Mrs. Jackson!” Give her the peace sign, turn up the music in your car and let the dance party begin - this will raise your vibration.

Other times the voices begin to chatter and remind us of our relationship with food. It’s lunchtime and you opt for the burger and fries knowing that salad is the better option. Even before taking your first bite, you "poison" your food with thoughts like, "This is going to make me fat. I am going to be so tired after I eat this. I will never have the body I want. My dad was right – I am a failure.” Give yourself a break and instead try this before eating: “I am excited to taste this burger and fries. Thank you 'Powerful Spirit' for this food that I will enjoy. I bless you with Love." Then remind yourself to stick with your other daily goals (e.g., drink your 120oz of water, eat lot of fresh vegetables at dinner). Keep it easy, enjoyable and simple.

These voices have an uncanny talent to show up uninvited on a weeknight at 3 AM. You wake up, feel a sudden sense of doom and begin to worry that your peacefully sleeping partner could have a heart attack or that the political climate will lead to the world’s destruction. It may feel difficult to ground yourself but try saying this: “In the morning, I will share this fear and do my best to inspire my partner to make healthier decisions. I don't have control over this right now but we are safe.” Or maybe, “I can't change all of politics, but tomorrow I will look into that non-profit group I like and volunteer. I don't have a lot of time but I will also donate to that other group that appears to be creating the change I like to see. I am safe at this moment. It is safe to go back to sleep.”

You DO NOT have to listen to the negative voices in your head! Sometimes you have to tell them to shut up and focus on what does feed your soul – this is known as my flip and turn method. Thoughts have a vibration. Like vibrations attract like vibrations. Thoughts like, "I'm depressed. Poor me. No one cares. I have to do it all." only attract more of the same. You can't expect to feel good when this is always present in your subconscious mind. You have to be CONSCIOUS and flip these thoughts to something that feels good. Allow yourself to create new conscious habits that free your mind.

If this is challenging for you and you would like to begin to manifest good feeling thoughts, now is the time to enroll in my Infinite Possibilities Class that starts in November. -Ting!
