Caught in the Thought Loop
**Psst. Psst. Can you still hear me? Are you sure you want to do this? Think about it. It doesn’t seem very safe. Are you sure you want to try? Think about it. Shouldn’t you just stick with what’s safe? Think about it. I mean, really think about it.**
**I don’t think you’re doing enough. You should hurry up! I think you’re doing too much. You should slow down!**
**Why not make a list? It always help you sleep when you know you have a list to jump on first thing in the morning, right?**
I know this voice, it is the sound of my thoughts. It is the sound of my busy, buzzing, preoccupied mind. Maybe it sounds like your thoughts too. But there are other voices, voices that appear in my head but come from somewhere else entirely. Strong voices, sure voices, voices saying things that don’t really make sense when I think about it… but somehow I know they’re spot on.
Example: it’s Monday morning and I sit at my computer for another day of typing my way toward making a living. These voices say:
***Feel that connection? Feel that inspiration? Yeah, that’s why you’re here. You live this way because you love it, not because it is the next right move up the career ladder. You live this way because it’s in alignment with who you really are and that feels good.***
But then the voices start to argue. (more…)
