How to Use the Little Voice in Your Head to Help You and Not Hurt You

Everybody has a little voice in their head. Some people have a little voice that cheers them on. Others have a little voice that attempts to stop them from pushing through pain, fear, and worry.

If you have a little voice in your head that cheers you on, embracing it is easy. It’s a unique part of your positive mindset that you should continue to feed with more of what you’re already doing.

On the other hand, if you’re like most people with that nagging little voice of self-doubt, this is ok as well. You’re no better off or worse off than those who have the little voice in their head that cheers them on. It may appear that the other little voice is better, but the nagging little voice of self-doubt can help you just as much. However, you must work harder to activate this little voice the right way to help you and not hurt you.

How to Use The Little Voice of Self-Doubt to Help You and NOT Hurt You

If you believe the little voice of self-doubt, it will hurt you. So, first you must stop believing what the little voice is saying. Recognize that little voice for what it is, a signal that something is important to you. It’s a fact that the little voice of self-doubt is silent when you’re doing something that’s not important. So believe the signal, but don’t believe the message.

Secondly, when that little voice of self-doubt decides to speak to you, make it your mission to prove that voice wrong. Each time you’re successful in proving that little voice of self-doubt wrong, you will then get mentally stronger.

This takes practice and effort, but this is the only way to use the little voice of self-doubt to help you. Recognize it as a signal that something is important, then prove it wrong. If you can do this, that voice of self-doubt will suddenly become a voice that cheers you on.
