That Chatterbox.
I think we all know about that chatterbox. It lives in the back of your mind and suggests things. It will tell you that you can only take so much and you have now reached that limit. You deserve more. Usually in the form of crisps, sweets or whatever your favourite food happens to be. It will also tell you that you are far too weak to leave food for another minute. It is beyond your control…you can’t fight it.
If you are close to goal, it will say “you look fine as you are…you won’t ever be perfect…as long as you look ‘okay’. You don’t deserve first prize…2nd will do”
We all have that chatterbox, what what we forget is that it cannot be our friend. Would a friend talk to you like that? Would a friend tell you to have a good binging session? Would a friend storm in on us when we are at our weakest? Telling us to fail, laying temptation before us?
Nope.
The greatest battle is learning how to stand up to this chatterbox. How to train and control it. It’s a tough battle, but it can be controlled, but you need to identify it for what it is first. You need to know that you have a stronger voice that it has. Tell it! Tell it out loud. Okay…people will think your nuts Okay…probably not a good idea to tell it outloud whilst you are shopping in Sainsbury’s
Your chatterbox is like a small child. It needs to be controlled….disciplined…put in it’s place. It wants to get you into trouble. You have to try to get it to change the subject. Distract it, like you would do that small child who was doing something it shouldn’t.
The difference between the small child and your inner voice, is that you can’t offend it. You can be as harsh to it as you want and the harsher you get the more undemanding it becomes.
Giving in to it rarely gives us more than a momentary pleasure. It rarely stops at that, but goes on to create more and more temptation. The voice gets louder each time we let it have its way. It has amazing tenacity. It will keep coming back as long as you let it.
Of course, it will hang around for ages…maybe for ever. It will end up doing some half-hearted attempts to woo you over, but it just won’t have the strength in it to make much of an impression….unless you let it.
In the end you can use your chatterbox to remind you of more positive things. Time to go to the Gym? Can’t you walk to the shops instead of taking the car? But be warned, he can still turn just when you aren’t expecting it.
Be on the lookout.
It is such relief to know that you are finally in control of what is going on in your head. You are the master. The chatterbox is just a mere servant
You cannot lose.
