A simple writing exercise to win your inner battle
There is that little voice, talking to you, yelling at you, whispering to you — whichever works best at that given moment. Or sometimes… it’s not even a voice, it’s just hearing the words without hearing them, just like feeling the presence of someone sitting next to you in a dark room. Sometimes it’s just a feeling, that stays with you no matter how much you want to shake it.
No matter the form… it’s a negative force coming from inside you, attacking you. Telling you how worthless you are, how futile your efforts are, how stupid decisions and dreams you have.

We start from the here and now. And let’s solve this internal debate — making sure you win.
Let’s take your negative self-talk. Let’s dissect it and let’s make it go away.
