TAKING CONTROL AWAY FROM THE NARRATORS

Have you ever noticed the repetitive nature of your internal narrators? They constantly tell the same stories, repeat the same judgements, and debate the rightness or wrongness of every thought you have and every action you take: “This is bad, that is good; do this, don’t do that; etc.”

When you lose awareness of your Authentic Self within these stories and comments, they begin to run your life. All your decisions and actions become automatic; you have effectively relinquished control of your thoughts to the internal narrators, and they’re running free.

Practice

With awareness, begin questioning the voices of your internal narrators. Notice how they play the same tapes over and over again? Is it time for a change? This single act of just stopping to listen to your heart instead of your narrators will help you regain the power to make your own decisions consciously and deliberately.
