Talk Yourself Into Awareness

I talk to myself...A lot. Sometimes out loud most of the time quietly to myself. We all do it. We all talk to ourselves. The really smart people are the ones who are consciously aware that they are doing it. I am one of those smart people. Okay, maybe 90% of the time I am one of those smart people. People say it is our conscience that we are noticing but I think it goes deeper than that. I know for myself, when I talk to myself I am reversing whatever thought my subconscious is thinking ( my subconscious has some doozies in there.) This is how you are supposed to talk to yourself if you want to be better. This is how you institute change. This is how you grow. Talking to yourself means challenging your limitations. If you really sit and think about it, there is two of us. There's the person who is thinking/doing/feeling something and then there's the part that is noticing these thoughts/actions/feelings. Kinda crazy if you really think about it.

 I talk to myself because A. I am quite entertaining and B. I want to make sure I am allowing myself to live to my fullest potential.

They aren't kidding when they say life is a journey. But it's only a journey if you are aware you are on it. Most of us live our lives according to the destination. The only sure destination is to the "other side" after we kick the bucket and I am pretty sure most of us aren't ready to pay the cover charge for that party. When we become consciously aware of our thoughts and how they lead us we take a second and third look and go deeper into what the hell we are doing.

We need to pay attention to how we treat ourselves and this entails the conversations we have in our own head. If you want a good life think good thoughts. If you want a bad life think bad thoughts. But here's the kicker: All we are is an illusion. Perspective is where our freedom is. A "good" life to one person may be a "bad" life to another. My point is, mind your business. Seriously. Mind your damn business. Expand your awareness to reflect the life you want to lead and worry about no one.

Listen to yourself when you start judging others and tell yourself (with respect) to be quiet. Talk to yourself with kindness and on your "bad" days go punch a pillow and then use your conscious awareness to spin the perspective. Its all an illusion anyway.

When we see things with our eyes our brain interprets whatever it is that we are seeing. Until you retrain your brain to see only love, you will continue to stir up the negative thoughts about a subject. Thus, creating an endless cycle of crap.

Think of your mind as two separate entities. The conscious and the unconscious. Use the power of your conscious mind to change the direction of the unconscious.


Talk to yourself. (nicely)
