That fairly optimistic voice of yours that comes out when you’re getting coffee and you run into someone you know and they ask How’s it going?…Where does that voice go when that conversation is finished?
For most, once that conversation is finished and you’re alone with your thoughts once again…that voice takes a back seat to a much more pessimistic, anxious voice. And that’s the voice you talk to yourself with.
It’s not that the first voice isn’t there anymore…it’s just waiting for another turn to speak up.
Don’t wait for another chance encounter at the coffee shop. Train that fairly optimistic voice to speak up to yourself too.
***Then the next question: Which voice is true? And the answer is always both. Trying to figure out which one is true is merely a distraction from choosing which one you’re going to give credence to.
***Yes, it should have been Effects rather than Affects in the title of yesterdays post. Wow, that was a big one that slipped by me. Thanks to those who buzzed me, and to those who missed it…your odviously inn gud companie.
