Okay, time to reveal the number two question revealed by the survey. Remember the question was, “What is your biggest question about the voice in your head that criticizes you and beats you up, that berates you, that constantly dwells on the worst case scenario, that won’t shut up?”
I was actually pretty shocked when I saw these responses coming in. The reason for my shock was that I have just finished writing a book that reveals the Answer to this question. The number two question from the survey about the voice in your head was, “Where does it come from?”
The answer may or may not surprise you. But the voice in your head is heavily influenced by a part of the brain that we share with dogs, cats, and primates. Science calls it the Limbic System. I call it the monkey brain! In the brain, it is the vortex for flight or fight, anger/fear, survival and all emotions. The kicker is that it is fully wired up by the time we are 5 years of age.
What this means for human kind is not good. The voice in your head that sounds like you talking to you is basically a 5 year old, with a 5 year old’s view of the world.
On November 6th I will be holding a teleclass where I will give you the key to breaking free from the voice that criticizes you and beats you up, that berates you, that constantly dwells on the worst case scenario, and that won’t shut up.
In the mean time my new book, Mastering Thought (Before it masters You!), has just come out. So here is a prescription for freedom. Get the book, read it, and then join the teleclass to learn more and get your questions answered!
Here is the link for the book. Mastering Thought (Before it masters You!) And here is the link for the teleclass.

Survey - #1 Question You Had
Wow, I want to thank everyone who participated in the survey. Remember the question was, “What is your biggest question about the voice in your head that criticizes you and beats you up, that berates you, that constantly dwells on the worst case scenario, that won’t shut up?”
Now I realize that is a bit of a loaded question because it does presuppose that there is such a voice that is up to no good in your head. But what was the number one question that people had about it? By far and away the number one question the people who took the survey had about the voice in their head was, how do I get it to stop? Now people had various takes on the question. Some were oriented more toward controlling it, some were more interested in mastering it.
It turns out ironically enough that you cannot control it and you cannot stop it, but you can master it! How can that be? How can you master it without making it stop? Well, I just finished writing a book about that called Mastering Thought (Before it masters You!). And I will be teaching you how to master thought through the practice of Witness Thought Transformation during a free teleclass on November 6th.
The voice in your head is a biological function that we have mistaken for ourselves. Now you cannot stop digestion, or perspiration for obvious reasons. We cannot expect to stop thinking for those same reasons. But we can become the master of thought by thoroughly understanding it and putting it in it proper place. That is what I want to teach you during the teleclass.
Stay tuned for the next installment of my blog where I will discuss the number two question that people had. And in a way, the number two question is far more interesting than the number one question!
