What is your relationship with the voice in your head? Perhaps this question will help you consider that because you probably haven't thought about it before. I know I hadn't until recently. I guess that was because I thought it was the voice of truth! I didn't question it! I guess at that stage I was utterly dictated to by it! I believed what it said, I did what it instructed and I argued its corner! It pretty much ruled my life. 

But then I started to see that it didn't always have my best interest at heart. So I started trying to override it with all sorts of self-development like affirmations, hypnotherapy and The miracle morning. The list could take up the rest of the characters in this section. so I will stop now. But that ended up like painting the Forth Road Bridge (I will explain that in the podcast). Basically never ending! But then I started to understand the nature of that voice in my head. I realised that it was not me. And ever so gently my relationship with it began to change. Can you imagine if you just took that voice in your head less seriously? Then there would be freedom, calm, clarity and the antidote to self-development.
