A month ago I was hired for a job in retail. The pay was alright, the hours were decent, but it was pretty much an over Christmas thing, which was fine for me, I was at a point where I was desperate enough to take anything. I picked up the job quickly, and four days after I started I get a call from my boss. She tells me that the night manager

very well put, we all have that voice.

If ypou need a nhand staying on track or an ear when things or a break let me know. the couch and me ear are here.

I can always use an ear. I'm a listener, not as much of a talker, so I don't do as much 'me' time with other people as I should.

And really, there is no time that talking to you has never not helped.

I found out that the best way to silence the voice is not to argue with it - just do what you're going to do anyway. So you believe you're not good enough for the job? Do it anyway. Funnily enough, months down the track when you can look back at it and say, "Hey, I actually did that!", the nasty little internal voice really doesn't have anything much to say in disagreement. ;)

That is what I'm hoping is going to happen!

Wow, this could be me writing this. My relationship is on its way out, at least for now, and definitely under strange circumstances (and long time coming). I have that voice that tells me I don't deserve happiness--it asks, "Who do you think you are, thinking you deserve happiness?" It even tries to tell me that seeking happiness is futile and pointless, that everything is transitory anyway. The thing is, the rest of me really doesn't agree with that voice... but it gets heard anyway.

I think the most important thing is what you're doing here in this post: acknowledging what is going on in your head, then stating your intentions for what you REALLY want to do. I think it will help me to do the same.

Acknowledging actions or behaviors and setting out a clear-stated path on what to do to fix them can never hurt, and I'd say that if you are even close to the same boat, it would be a good idea! :)
