Thursday, Jan 5 2012 - The voice of doubt
View TALLSAM's food & exercise for this day
You say you're ready for the challenge, but in the back of your mind you have serious, nagging doubts. There's a little voice that keeps popping up, reminding you of your self-imposed limitations.
You may be able to convince the rest of the world, but if you cannot win over the little voice in the back of your mind, it will stop you cold.
The way to assuage that little voice is by sheer will and repetition. Every time it says "no you can't" you must immediately tell it "yes I can!" You allowed that little voice to take hold, and you have the power to change it.
In the past, you've told yourself or been told you can't do it so many times that your doubt has taken on a life of its own. Now you must give life to your confidence. Know you can do it. Tell yourself, over and over again, that you can do it. With enough repetition, you'll begin to truly believe it and the doubt will surely fade.
Change the cruel, whining voice of doubt to a resounding chorus of confidence.

The little voice is a gossip, a chatterer, a deliverer of dribble. Imagine someone leaning over and tugging at your sleeve to fill your ear with unwanted information. This person is not standing at a podium, and does not have a legitimate voice. That's why the voice is "little" and that's also why it whispers. Just don't listen and turn your attention to the voice that is supportive, realistic, and not debilitating and full of doom. Best of luck. Cheryl55
