Who is your biggest critic?
Who consumes a huge chunk of your time…day after day after day?
If you are like the vast majority of us then the answer is…
- that nagging, incessant voice of dissatisfaction in your head
- that little voice which, for most of us, sounds like our own voice and seems to talk at us from a place just inside our heads behind the base of our nose
That little voice keeps rehashing our past errors and reminds us of past difficulties. That little voice repeats and repeats would’a’, could’a’, should’a’ and that little voice never runs out of topics to talk about.
That little voice keeps telling us we must worry about future problems.
That little voice talks on with unwavering insistence in its ability to predict the future…I mean, predicting the negatives that will visit us in the future: the problems, the difficulties and the what ifs.
We listen to that negative-chatterbox voice…it is so tough to ignore it.
We let it mess up our concentration during the daytime.
We let it mess up our sleep at night.
We let that little voice consume huge amounts of our time.
To the extent you can quiet that little voice you will be more successful and you will have more time.
