Who is that voice talking in your head? You know who I am talking about. The one that says things to you that no one else dare say. The one that ignores your triumphs and accomplishments and nitpicks every little thing you do wrong. You don’t need to live with the constant nagging and criticism. You can change all that.
Your mood is a byproduct of your thoughts and thought process not the other way around. If you are feeling down or in a bad mood you can mask the symptoms by taking something to improve your mood or you can attack your mood at the source – your thoughts. This can appear to be difficult because we are so use to hearing the play-by-play commentary from our inner critic. This inner critic only has the power we give it and one way to reduce it effect is to simply dismiss the thought as trivial and non important. Just as you would dismiss bad advice as frivolous and unimportant do the same to negative thoughts. By dismissing them you prevent them from taking root and spoiling what can be a great mood. By dismissing negative thoughts you can turn your inner critic into your biggest fan.
