What Voice are you giving authority to in this moment?
Sometimes the only thing that is against our freedom is what voice we are giving authority to inside of us.
Normally there is a voice that is wining in a certain situation in our minds/lives.
In this article we will work this: What is the voice that is wining in a certain situation?
For the sake of this article Let us play and assume that we have two voices: Our authentic voice and our protector voice.
The authentic voice is the voice that is aligned with our truth, our desires (authentic ones) or with the goals we want to achieve. It is a voice that is gentle but firm. Sees with love but clarity. It is a voice that is honest. It does not bypass your feelings. It is solid and doesn’t feel or need to run away.
The protector voice is the voice of our coping mechanisms, it is the voice that gives words to how we used to protect ourselves as children.
This voice is filled with some emotional current. Not necessarily what we will define as negative emotion meaning feeling bad, it can also be feeling good emotions.
And guess what, This voice is louder than our authentic voice and it would take work to learn to separate the two voices.
But remember that this voice also loves you and wants to protect you so be very gentle with yourself in this journey.
Now let us have this small exercise to help with the process of identifying these two voices:
Write down the goal or desire you are working with or stuck at:
Then divide the page in your journal to two parts: One write “Protector Voice” and the second part write “Authentic voice”
Write down all what comes up for you.
This is so releasing, revealing and powerful.
