Hey there, beautiful ones! Ever found yourself deep in conversation… with yourself? If not, you might want to start. I have a saying: I talk to myself because I’m the only person I can get an intelligent answer from. When I was younger, I’d say this to be a smart ass, just to see the uncomfortable reactions from others.
People always believed that talking to yourself was a sign of craziness, or that it was fine as long as you didn’t answer yourself. There was such a stigma around self-dialogue. But nowadays, when I say that phrase, I mean it with every fiber of my being.
Embracing Your Inner Voice
I’ve learned that the only way to truly understand myself is to have intimate conversations with myself. Sometimes I do this quietly in my mind, and other times, I speak out loud, especially when I need to work through something serious.
You see, I used to let the wrong voices talk to me for a long time. My fears, anxieties, sadness, guilt, shame, and limiting beliefs were constantly chatting away, and I listened. These voices kept me stuck in a loop, believing untruths about myself and the people around me. I made some questionable decisions because of these voices. But when I started speaking to myself with grace, understanding, kindness, compassion, and love, everything changed.
Transformative Self-Talk
I began to see the truth about who I was, who I am, and who I’m becoming. No longer would I let negative self-talk drag me down into a state of depression. I started questioning every thought, every feeling, and every action. It’s through these conversations that I test my theories on self-talk—will this bring me joy or more pain?
It took time to really get to know the different parts of myself so that I could understand who was speaking to me. Was it my inner child or my shadow? My wise woman or my jester? My outlaw or my caregiver? My higher self or my wounded self? Understanding these different facets of myself became a guide for my journey. Also, discerning between my voice and the voices of my ancestors, spirit guides, and angels has been incredibly helpful.
The Journey of Self-Discovery
So yes, I am the only person who can give me an intelligent answer because who knows me better than me? The moral of the story, lovelies, is to learn yourself. Don’t be afraid to have conversations and talk things out with yourself. No one can tell you who you are better than you can. Don’t let society make you feel there’s something wrong with you if you retreat into yourself for an intriguing conversation. Anything you desire from others, you must first get from yourself. And you cannot understand others until you truly understand yourself.
Talking to yourself isn’t about filling the silence with noise. It’s about engaging in meaningful dialogue that helps you grow and evolve. It’s about being your own best friend, your most trusted advisor, and your biggest cheerleader. So next time you find yourself in a quiet room, don’t hesitate to start a conversation. You might be surprised by the intelligent answers you receive.
I believe in you. And remember, as always, I love you. 💙
