Do we want to change our relationship with food? How about our relationship with finances? Our activity levels? Our time spent worry about things in our lives? How about how we find ourselves responding to things in our life with aggression or withdrawal? Once we become aware of how we talk to ourselves, we can take control of the messages that replay in our heads. I have never met someone who talked to themselves with compassion and kindness while also living a life full of depression and anxiety. In other words, we are unable to change what we are currently unaware of. How we feel and how we behave originates in how we talk to ourselves. The act of making the unconscious conscious is where the work begins. Once we become aware of it, we can’t become unaware. It might have been a message that was given to us earlier in life. That thought we hear might not be original to us. All the while, reinforcing the neurological connection in our brain. Joe Dispenza is, “nerve cells that fire together, wire together.” Every time we repeat a thought, it leads to a corresponding emotion, ultimately leading to a predictable behavior. That’s easy to remember right? But what if that voice is a recording of our past on replay? Then, that voice doesn’t feel like a choice anymore. Either way, the main thing we need to remember is the message we’re listening to in our head is up to us. At other times, that voice might be demeaning and critical. In this blog, we want to focus on how that voice of ours, that we do have control over, talks to us.Īt different times throughout our day, that voice might be positive and boost our confidence. One that you don’t have any control over. An auditory hallucination is the hearing of a voice that isn’t your own. I am not talking about auditory hallucinations. That voice isn’t a signifier for any mental health issues. Regardless of the topic, we hear our voice running through our head. We debate with ourselves about eating another eggroll, or drinking another cup of coffee, or how to respond to an email.
