Those Voices

 “I Dare You” by Shinedown came on while I was working out the other day and one line keeps popping up in my thoughts. “Decide which voice in your head you can keep alive”. Seems so fitting right now with everyone working towards their resolutions and deciding what changes they need to make. Anytime we propose to make changes there seems to be some type of conflict.

Do you find yourself, like I do, having all these thoughts or voices coming at you when you are trying to make some changes? You may hear why you shouldn’t make these changes, you need to do something else, is the change actually good for you or you don’t have time. Then there is the one that says you got this, you need this, it is good for you, or you can make time. The negative and the positive, with a couple of unsure voices in there too. There always seems to be one voice quieter than the other.

I know I probably sound crazy right now, in fact as I read this I do. But admit it, you hear those voices too. We all do. So when you start hearing all these opinions and comments from the voices in your head, you “decide which voice in your head you can keep alive”. Are you going to keep the one that empowers you or the one that holds you back?
