Dear First name / sweet friend
In honor of dedicating February to loving ourselves EVEN more, I want us to spend some time this week noticing our inner voice. What is the tone, what are the words you are saying to yourself? Do you celebrate things and BOOST yourself up constantly? Is your voice full of constructive criticism? Is it positive or negative? Notice if you are actually listening to it, or ignoring it.
In his book ‘The Untethered Soul’, Michael A. Singer offers an interesting perspective on our inner voice, saying “There is nothing more important to true growth than realizing you are not the voice of your mind - you are the one who hears it.” (this entire book is dedicated to an interesting take on our inner voice!)
Our inner voice is interesting to think about. It happens so subconsciously and so constantly for many of us that as it's going on and on it might not even be something we notice! When you begin to pay attention though, it might surprise you what it's saying - and what you're taking from it.
Take the next week to just notice what your inner voice is saying (or not! many people don't notice a voice inside their head) throughout your day, notice how you pay attention to it, how you shift in your actions and posture because of it. You might even keep a journal with you and write down what you notice!
