I wrote something, against my inner voice's better judgment. A book breaking down the voice in your head. Why it's exhausting, relentless, and occasionally full of shit. If it possibly resonates with you, give it a read. jamsinger1.gumroad.com/l/itmeanswell

@noahkagan It’s made for you to feel anxious and inadequate. Yet here we are.

Anyone else get extra anxiety when they open X? It seems like you've missed out, new thing launched, your company will fail cause you don't know something new and AI is gonna kill us all.

@warikoo Similar here. It started out as self therapy. Just getting all the wild shit in my brain out onto paper, digital or otherwise. Then it turned into something I really enjoyed. Then it turned into a test about putting myself out there and the anxiety that came with it.

Writing online changed my life more than any job I ever had. Not because of the audience. Because writing forced me to know what I actually think versus what I assume I think. You don't find your voice by reading. You find it by writing.

The people who hear their inner voice the most aren’t the most broken. They’re usually the most invested, the most imaginative, and the most aware.

Here are some ways my inner voice shows up that I didn’t ask for: The Sunday scaries in the early evening The 4am financial audit (my favorite) The post-trip, back to the real world crash The phone grab after slightest bit of anxiety The good moment asterisk. Truly a full service operation and completely free of charge!

@tailopez I’d say too that some of my worst days can come after my best ones. Not as a negative but as a way to be aware we’re all ebb and flowing and to be kind to ourselves along the way. Helps create more best days than worst ones.

The weird rule of life is my best days are usually the day after my worst days. Turn off your emotion sometimes because the breakthrough is sometimes only 24 hours away.

Some ways to look at self talk and your inner voice and show it a little compassion: It has never once taken a day off It genuinely thinks it’s saving your life It’s working with really old information Fighting it hasn’t worked yet anyway

@creatordamon The tricky part is the voice telling you that you suck genuinely thinks it’s helping. Mainly trying to keep you safe. I think understanding that is what actually makes it easier to stop listening to and what keeps me going.

🗣️Newer creators! Someone else’s opinion of you doesn’t change whether you can do it or not. But your mindset, opinion, and self talk about yourself is critical. Stop. Saying. You. Suck. You’re a novice. Cool. Everyone starts there. But are you content staying there? No? Then let go of the negative thoughts of yourself. If it’s not helping, it’s hurting. Think better. Work better. For some of you—this will be hard, challenging work. But it’s feasible AND it’s gonna play a role into you building this business. You got it. You’re just scratching the surface. Keep GOING🙏🏾

@kemisola_____ The hardest part is catching the negative stuff fast enough to replace it. It’s quick and it’s sneaky and it’s been practicing a lot longer than you have. I’ve been working over the years to identify more and more spots that happens.

I'm cultivating the habit of positive self-talk❤️

@Ilerioluwakiye_ It’s crazy cuz the inner voice doesn’t just talk to you, it plays every character in the room. Writes the script, argues both sides, and somehow still loses the argument it made up. Its goal is to make it feel very real.

According to psychology people who often talk to themselves build fake scenarios and have full conversations in their heads often assume it's normal. but in reality, it's a form of self regulation, away to process emotions when there's no one who truly understands them.

@nakedpastor I think the hard part is realizing the voice in your head is telling you you’re still that person. That’s the thing that needs forgiving too.

Did you know you can go back in time and talk to your younger self? You can even forgive them for something they said or did that caused harm, and bring them into the warm light of forgiveness and compassion. You can heal your old roots and enjoy healthier fruits today!

@3kingvisions I stopped trying to silence the voice and started asking it what it was actually scared of. I guess observing it instead of Identifying with it if that makes sense.

How do you regulate your mental health?

@JamieClass5 @3kingvisions Figuring out what the noise in my head is actually afraid of. Takes a little longer than a margarita but works better than ignoring it😂

@3kingvisions Positive self talk, and relaxing in my jacuzzi with a book and a margarita.

@steveelikespie @akaSnoopyyy Progress is progress until the inner voice starts grading it. That’s when it gets complicated!

@akaSnoopyyy There's nothing more important than self improvement. Regardless of the progress, progress is still progress!

i just quit my job. tired of being run into the ground. tired of being overworked. tired of not having any time for myself. tired of being miserable. im putting myself and my own mental health first for once. i’ll be fine.

@akaSnoopyyy The voice that told you to stay probably had a whole list of reasons why this was a bad idea. Good for you for leaving anyway

@JoreoGaming00 Hi Joreo don’t follow your stream but came across this. Taking the break is the right call. Hope you’re being as easy on yourself as you would be on someone else going through it.

Hey guys, Josh here. Im going to be postponing the stream tonight. Im… not in a good mental state right now. Mixture of burnout, depression, and misanthropy. Hopefully i can work through this and get back to fun content. Love yall.

@dolphin_posting The fact that you can even see her with that much compassion says a lot about how far you’ve come

i cannot imagine being in a relationship with anyone other than with my younger self... i cant imagine how my older self would be, sometimes i think of her as paralyzed and bed bound

@astrogeanie Also making sure the voice in your own head isn’t the wrong people’s energy you internalized years ago. That one’s sneakier.🙏

Self-care is also making sure you’re not tangled up in the wrong ppls energy🪬

@rumilyrics The year all this garbage started popping up on my feed.

Which year destroyed your mental health most?

@gumroad Just launched my first digital product on Gumroad! Mama, we made it. jamsinger1.gumroad.com/l/itmeanswell

The best marketing strategy for your first product is actually making it.

@tferriss This works well for your inner voice’s calendar too.

Remember: it’s not enough to remove the negative. That simply creates a void. Get the positive things on the calendar ASAP, lest they get crowded out by the bullshit and noise that will otherwise fill your days.
