Befriend Your Inner Voice: Harnessing Self-Talk for a Happier Life

Life Passion and Business

Harnessing your self-talk. Have you ever thought about that little voice in your head? You know, the one that pops up most randomly, whether you’re doing something you maybe shouldn’t be or just indulging yourself. Well, guess what? We all have it, and it’s more influential than you might think!

In this bite-sized episode, I’m diving into the world of our inner voices. Inspired by the work of Ethan Cross, a psychology professor at the University of Michigan, we’ll explore how this internal chatter shapes our lives. From reminding us to pick up milk at the store to holding us back with guilt and shame, our inner voice can be both a friend and a foe.

I’ll share some personal stories, like how my father’s inner voice replayed old regrets, and offer insights into how you can transform this voice into a positive force. We’ll discuss practical tools from Ethan’s book "Chatter" and techniques like distancing yourself from negative thoughts and using self-talk to boost your confidence.

Join me on this reflective journey, and let’s learn to make friends with our inner voice. When we do, we unlock a powerful ally who can help us achieve our goals and live a more fulfilling life. And hey, if you’ve got your own stories or want to chat more about this, feel free to reach out. I’d love to hear from you!
