Finding Encouragement
Your True Inner Voice

Within each of us, there are numerous voices often that compete for our attention. It can be difficult to decide which one to listen to, particularly when their messages are all quite different, sometimes conflicting, and even alluring. One voice, however, is the speaker of truth. Among all your inner voices, your true inner voice is the one which encourages you, gives you hope, and pushes you to trust and believe in yourself. Conflict within oneself is often caused by dueling voices inside of each one of us. As we move through life, we get mixed messages from the various aspects of ourselves. Some of our voices, such as the naysayer or saboteur, can speak so loudly that they drown out the voice of truth. Listening to your true inner voice – often the voice of understanding, support, and self-assurance - can help lessen and even resolve internal conflict.

If you’re looking toward the future but your faith in your ability to succeed in life is wavering, you will benefit from finding and listening to your true inner voice. You can connect with it by remaining relaxed and alert, while listening carefully. If you have trouble distinguishing your true voice from the others, meditation may be helpful. You may hear many voices as you meditate, but the one you should pay attention to is the one that speaks to you with love, understanding, and compassion. It will bolster your spirits and urge you to go after your dreams. And it will never cause confusion, remind you of past mistakes, or cause you to doubt yourself.

The more you listen to and believe in what your true inner voice is telling you about your value and your potential, the stronger that voice will become. And the more you disregard the voices that can interfere with your resolve to succeed, the quieter those voices will become. Saying no to the voices that are judgmental and make you feel ashamed will help you stop being critical of your failures and afraid of success. By finding and strengthening your true inner voice, you will be able to ignore internal conflict and pick out the one that speaks the truth.

Makes a lot of sense. Thanks so much for posting this!

I've recently started meditation, fell asleep so guess I was relaxed...LOL.

Best Wishes To All

This is really a great post for this week. A frined sometimes send me the DailyOM, but really gets to the core with session three. I looking for to getting rid of my addictive negative thoughts. Good luck on your journey.

Thank you for the insightful message
I have found it very dificult to stop the inner voices this holiday I am not sure what I was upset with but I just felt off all day. Hopefully this will be much better at the next holiday. Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

I listened to #3 on the way home from church the other night and thought, "WOW! This is going to be great. Can anyone tell me how to subscribe to the Daily OM?

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. I've been off work since Wednesday and I can't remember being this happy and calm. I'm almost totally off of caffeine, except that I will always have a little bit of chocolate in my life. LOL.. I can't wait to listen to session 3 today. I think that part of the problem I have to learn to deal with is the negativity at work. It always drags me down but I know I can work through it..Talk to you all later

Thanks so much missgsr for posting the Daily Om. I have signed up for it and also the daily horoscope. I also found myself passing it on to my friends, which, in turn made me feel good to share something positive for a change Thanks again!!

Beautiful! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this with us. I used to get the Daily Om but couldn't keep up with all my e-mails, so I stopped. I loved getting them though.

I've printed this out & plan on taping it to my bedroom mirror.

Thats really good, Thanks for the post. I can't wait to read it to my children.

This has to be one of the most profound truths of all time. I am loving this program the anxiety and panic have already subsided quite a degree. I do however find it extremely hard to overcome depression as my living arrangement is depressing right now. I have been eating and slepping way too much and have put on alot of weight. I need motivation to get up and get out and the above quote was truly enlightening it is going too give me the inspiration I need to over come depression. I am not sad as depression really is not sadness but once I get up in the morning it is hard to do anything else. From tommorrow on though I am going to work out eveyday. If I don't ,I will have listened to a negative thought (which I now refuse to do)

Hey ! it is so simple but yet so hard at the same time. We can do it !
