So many times we have what I like to call mind chatter going on in our heads. This is the little voice inside, the voice that tries to drive you crazy and often succeeds! I will even go as far as to bet that you don’t even know it’s there! And this mind chatter holds the key to all of your fears. It is the voice the heralds doom, lack, and losing.
We are so used to its presence we often don’t even notice it is talking to us. The problem with this mindless chatter is that when you think a thought long enough, it begins to build up a manifestation that will eventually come to pass. Your mind chatter has a great deal of power in your life. So what does mind chatter sound like? Well it sounds something like this:
If I call him maybe he’ll think I want too much too fast, but maybe if I don’t call him he’ll think I don’t really like him. But if I call him and his voice mail answers, I’ll start thinking about where he is and then I will be so upset because then I will know he is out with another woman, or maybe he is ignoring my call. But if I don’t call then he may not think I like him. But if I call he’ll know I do like him and he’ll probably start avoiding me because I am going too fast for him. I wonder why he hasn’t called me yet. Maybe I was rude today when I saw him at the coffee shop. Maybe I should have been a little nicer to him, but I was thinking, “Oh my god look at what I am wearing!” And I looked so fat in that dress; I told myself not to wear that in public. And my makeup was terrible. He must have thought I did not like him, when really I was thinking about how I was dressed. I wonder if he heard through the grapevine that I went out the other night. Well, I don’t think he should expect me to sit home every night when he does not call and ask me out. He has a lot of nerve if he expects that. The next time I see him I’ll ask him why he hasn’t called. We were supposed to go to the movies this week and he didn’t even remember. I’m going to confront him about that when he calls. I’m not going to be judgmental, but I am certainly going to let him know how I feel! Maybe I should just send him a text message to see if he responds.
No wonder so many of us hate being alone and can’t be in a room or the car without turning on the radio or TV for company. We will find anything just to escape this insanity! We are all victims to our chatterboxes at some point in our lives. But there is help!
