The Power of Your Inner Voice
By Bailee McDaniel
Listening to our inner voice is often something many people have turned a deaf ear too. Our inner voices are our intuition, our instincts, the feeling we have to take a different route in the morning. These inner voices even I have a hard time listening to. In our society, often speaking, we are told to listen to the facts, and make an educated decision based on the facts. Which is all fine and dandy, smart even. But we also have to become better at listening to that inner voice. That inner voice is our subconscious telling us that something is off.
By listening to this voice we learn what our subconscious blocks are, what issues we have. This part of our brains sees and observes everything, and it tells us when something is off– when something isn’t right. We need to listen to this part of our brains.
When we listen our decisions become better for us personally. Instead of deciding if a pair of shoes, by all accounts seems right, if it doesn’t subconsciously feel right then maybe those shoes are the best for you. When you listen you become more in tune with what is going on within your own head. You start to identify what subconscious beliefs you have.
These subconscious beliefs create the world around us. They tint the world to match our worldview. Optimists see the world with rainbows and butterflies, in a sense, while the pessimist will see the world with a tint of dreary rain and moths. These worldviews help us to see new opportunities, or a lack of opportunities.
Paying attention to these subconscious beliefs, which are being created and redone every day since your birth, help you to see what your worldview is. Once you know you can start to work on that belief, if it’s one that is holding you back. Working through and on that belief allows for you to see things in a new light. You can start to see that you can get a raise, or you are worthy of that dream job you weren’t sure if you were qualified for. And once you start believing that you are worthy of that job you become so much more likely to get that dream job.
That’s just a woo-woo hippy dippy talk.
It might seem like it, but it’s really not. Think about it, if you walk into that job with confidence and you feel like you are the best person for the job, then the job interviewers will see that in your body language. Body language is what so much of our social cues come from. So when you have the body language that tells them that you are the best person for that dream job, they see that. Their subconscious picks up on that and it increases your odds that they will choose you because your body language told them that you should be there. There is also a whole physics aspect that goes into that, but that requires pictures so we won’t go into the physics of the power of the subconscious beliefs, in this blog at least.
