The Voice in your Head

... is hopefully yours. But it's the voice that you hear 24hrs of the day. You debate with it while making decisions in your daily life, and it convinces you to do things, to say things. And most of the time, you listen to it.
So this voice in your head... if you have to live with it forever, shouldn't it be saying the most postive things it can ?
Sometimes, it doesn't. Do you ever think about what you think about? Or what you say to yourself in certain situations?
I think your outlook on life is really based on what you say to yourself in your head on a daily basis, realizing it or not. And sometimes we say things to ourselves that are very counter-productive in life, and in our self esteem.
Take always dwelling on the negative as an example. If you come across a problem, a realistic way of thinking would be to weigh the pros and the cons, right? Or both sides of the story?
But what if we were so hard on ourselves, that we'd obsess over a small, horrible detail and let it ruin the whole situation? For example, if you definitely know the answer to a question on a test, and totally have no idea about another one... which one do you think about more? You probably go up to your buddy after class and say "Wow.. I totally failed #3." That just sets us up for more failure in the future.
Also, personalizing things. By that, I mean blaming everything on yourself. Like, if your parents get divorced, you might think it's your fault... but it's not. Or, if your friend is going through some crappy times, you might think his/her deteriorating state is your fault because you can't help them... but it's not. Sometimes, things happen. And everything happens for a reason.
I think people might find peace within themselves if they'd just change their way of thinking. What you say in your mind is like a tape recorder, and eventually, you beging to believe the negative tape that you put in your head. So, change the tape. To a positive one.

Or one with Justin Beiber playing. Whatever you prefer.

Just as long as it's not negative, self attacking thoughts.


Well, as lame as I am.
