There's something we all have - something that we can't explain.

There are voices inside our minds, telling us right from wrong, positive from negative, and so on.

These voices tell you endless things
They tell you;
That you're amazing, that you're lost, that you need to do more, that you're doing all that you can, that you need to fit in, or that you don't need to change for other people.

However, these voices can change depending on what you are hearing from others.
We all have people in our lives who support and help us to better understand ourselves.
But we also have those people who bring us down and only give us that negative feedback.

Draw your attention to what the people around you are telling you.

Positive reinforcement and negative reinforcement are equally important to our mental growth.

We perceive "negative self-talk" as a bad aspect of how we think.
It's not necessarily bad, but if we can understand that negative and positive thinking are both critical to our progression, maybe we could be happier within ourselves.

Here's something to think about, even negative voices can still be positive.
As the saying goes; "There is no light without the dark,"

There must be a balance within our minds.

We must find the inner voices we will choose to listen to.
Either choose to listen to the thoughts telling you that you need to do more, or listen to the ones who are proud of what you've accomplished.
Or listen to both.

Please pay attention to those little voices in the back of your mind. Pay attention to what they are telling you, and how they can be affecting your life.
