Voices in Your Head
Ever feel like you. have voices in your head? It’s like someone is marching around with a megaphone saying things over and over again. I feel this and I’ve learned I’m not crazy. And neither are you!
I often have an angel and a devil sitting on my shoulders. They’re separate personalities having conversations with each other about me and everything I say or do. Sometimes I’m included and it adds a whole other layer to the conversation. If you can relate to what I’m saying, you need to keep reading.
The voices you hear can help us or hurt us. And whether you have a person with a megaphone in your head or an angel and devil on your shoulders, they have an impact on us. They can cause us to make wild choices about which path to take in life or can make us stay stagnant. If we’re not listening, we might not be taking advice we really need to hear.
To help you understand just how important these voices are, here are a few real-life examples:
Example 1
It’s Friday night and your friends really want you to go out after work. Part of you wants to, but the other part wants to go home and rest because you have an early morning yoga class. One voice, the angel, says “Go home and get some rest so you’re ready for your morning class!” The other voice, the devil, says “You can just go and have a few drinks. What harm could it do?”
Example 2
You’re on your commute to work and listening to your favorite radio station, podcast, or meditation mantra. While that’s playing, you suddenly get the urge to travel to a place you’ve never been before. So you start to have this internal conversation. You have no idea why you feel drawn to this place. But in your mind, you basically go back and forth. Do I stay or do I go?
How would you handle these scenarios? Where do you find your answers? Usually, you listen. That voice that’s deep inside will tell you what you should do. When you start practicing meditation, self-care, and other mindfulness practices, that voice becomes louder. And while I’m encouraging you to listen, I’m not saying you have to listen to it. These voices can help lead you down a path that may not have existed before. So I challenge you to start opening your mind more and paying attention to those voices in your head.
