Stuttering
The Toxic Voices in our life can take many forms, but they all have one
purpose: to keep us in our personal hell (such as worry, depression, poor
health, addiction, chronic frustration and dissatisfaction). At the very
least they keep us trapped in a stagnant "Comfort Zone," leading
what Thoreau called a life of "quiet desperation."
We also have two other kinds of companions. Our Natural Voices are healthy,
supportive and realistic; they help us navigate our way through life
successfully. Our Sacred Voices guide us on a deeper level to live our
values and realize our purpose in life.
For many of us, especially those who grew up in dysfunctional families, the majority of the inner voices we listen to may be toxic. Since the Toxic Voice is the biggest enemy of our happiness and our growth, freeing ourselves from it is crucial if we truly want to live the life we were born to live.
Do your Toxic Voices keep you trapped in a Comfort Zone where you gain and lose the same pounds over and over? Or do they keep you going back and forth about what do about a relationship or a job that isn't that great? Or do they impersonate higher spiritual voices?
