Can you hear me now?


Most of us are familiar with Verizon’s slogan about their cell phone reception, but have you ever really thought about the dialog in your head and whose voice you are listening to?  We often have a running dialog going in our mind and we aren’t even really aware of the impact.  I hear myself saying, “Kim why did you have to say that? Or why did you eat that 2ndhelping?  Or your hair sure looks bad today?  These are silly examples, but we all can fall into the trap of believing wrong thoughts that end up reinforcing feelings of low self worth and lack of confidence.  It’s important to actually think about the things we tell ourselves and then to think about whether it’s really the truth, or something we’ve heard in the past that really isn’t a reality today.
