CFD 240 - Tell Your Negative Inner Voice the Shut Up!

Published: Jan. 18, 2016, 4 p.m.

A lot of times we make promises to ourselves that we are going to do things that are going to change our lives, make more money, spend more time with our family or whatever. But then something happens. We start letting the negative voice in our heads stop us from making changes. The voice tells us all the reasons that we can’t do what we want to do. That voice is fear and anxiety that gives us an out. So we stop. (But we shouldn’t let that happen.)

That’s what this episode of my Cash Flow Diary podcast is about. I’m going to tell you how to stop listening to the negative self-talk. 

You want to know the secret to getting the inner voice to shut up? 

It’s pretty simple. Understand that you CAN learn new skills. You may not look great doing the new skill at first, but that’s okay. You’re going to make mistake, which is okay, too. Or maybe you think I haven’t made mistakes… Heh.

You also have to make the decision to do the work it takes to get to your goal. You keep your word to yourself that you will do whatever it takes every day to move forward. 

You know what the word “decision” means? To cut off. That’s what I talk about in this episode, too. It’s something I teach audiences everywhere. This is a really important aspect of success. 

Every day we make decisions. Good or bad. So make a good one by cutting off the power of your negative self-talk. 

There are ways to block out the inner noise. If you’re like me and you get anxious about some decision I have to make or have made I pray. Specifically I walk and pray. I have different routes 

Or use another strategy I employ. For example, I use a white noise app. The white noise really blocks out the outer world and takes your attention off your negative self-talk that erodes your ability to be confident.  

There’s a lot of things you can do. I share them with you in this episode. Learn more. LISTEN NOW.
