3 Keys to Managing The Voice Inside Your Head


Listen Later

Welcome back to the Daily Mastermind! Today, I want to delve into a topic that frequently arises on our podcast—the persistent voice inside your head. Many people grapple with understanding what truly goes on inside their minds.

Your Internal Dialogue

Throughout our life experiences and growth opportunities, we often encounter a constant inner voice. Michael Singer, in his book "The Untethered Soul," emphasizes recognizing that you are not this voice; you are the one who hears it. This voice often discourages you, distracts you, and questions your abilities. It is largely fueled by your beliefs and personal life context.

The Need for Strategies

Many of us understand what we need to do to develop personally, yet we fail to act. When the voice inside our heads becomes overbearing, it affects our life outcomes. This is where strategic management comes into play. Mary Lore's book, "Managing Thought," provides invaluable strategies and tactics for overcoming these mental hurdles.

Key Takeaways from "Managing Thought"

Mary's book presents various approaches to rethink success, refocus goals, and reframe negative thoughts, ultimately revitalizing your energy and fostering peace of mind. Chapters five and six are a "go to" for me, highlighting the separation between you and your mind's voice.

The Power of Thought Management

Unchecked thoughts can spiral out of control, impacting your life results. The equation is simple: thoughts create feelings, feelings drive actions, and actions yield results. However, it all hinges on managing your mental state proactively, as even those not focused on personal development can benefit from conscious thought management.

Embrace the Present

The present moment is your only reality. As Buddha said, "We are what we think. All that we are arises from our thoughts. With our thoughts, we remake the world." Being present and engaged is pivotal to influencing your life positively.

The Three Keys to Success


Beliefs ultimately drive actions. If your actions don’t align with your stated desires, reassess whether your beliefs support your aspirations.

The Role of Self-Awareness

Inspirational states boost creative output and influence your thoughts and beliefs. It is crucial to question whether you are proative with your thoughts or just reactive to self-doubt and fear.

Creating Effective Thought Habits

Eckhart Tolle said unchecked thinking is a disease. Recognize your mind as a tool, not as something that should control you. By shifting awareness from mindless thoughts to intentional decisions, you cultivate a constructive mindset.

Feelings and Feelings

Your feelings are signals indicating whether you're aligned with your true purpose. Rather than identifying with your emotions, use them as feedback to navigate and adjust your mental focus.

Positive Affirmations

Affirmations such as "I am successful" or "I am grateful" affirm a powerful emotional state. Avoid "I want to be" or "I should be"—they lack the same potency.

Pruning Your Mental Tree

Managing thoughts is like pruning a tree—remove negative branches (thoughts) to foster growth. Implement strategies to eliminate mental clutter and focus on constructive thinking patterns.
