The Voice In Your Head

The Voice In Your Head



It’s known by different things. Your conscience. Your inner voice. Your gut instinct. Your inner monologue.

Many people use it 'to' guide their decisions; consider their options; weigh the pros and cons; decide what actions 'to' take or words 'to' speak. It can all happen in a split second or much longer.

We all know the other kinds of people. They seem 'to' blurt out the first that comes into their head. They don’t think before they speak. They don’t re-read their email, text or comments before pressing Enter.

Afterwards, when they realize the impact, what do they do? Do they take responsibility? No. They will blame it on their temper or the extra alcoholic beverage they consumed or whatever excuse they devise for their bad behaviour. Or they think simply deleting that email, text or comments will erase the damage.

Remember:

Actions have consequences.

Spoken words cannot be un-heard.

Written words cannot be un-seen.

Over the past half century, I have mellowed a lot, those comments, not only make you look like an ass, but can be expensive, literally. Sometimes one just has to make an ass out of himself to get enough attention to prove a real point. Although one can cut off your nose in spite of it..
As you say we /all should reread, rethink or adjust our attitude before we stand up!!

Good read/post, Thanks
Have a good day, be safe

I try not to speak with anyone. It's working out great.

Nothing much to say.

It seems not everything is caught the first time sometimes you need to slow down

It sounds like you've been watching our news reports. My inner voice tells me NOT to inject cleaning products to kill off Corona virus.

Often, maturity and life's experiences will temper our reactions. Of course, there will also be others, who will continue to repeat the same bad behaviour and give the same tired excuses.

LOL. You aren't known for being quiet. Your written words are usually 'Your Voice'.

    It seems some people don't have a conscience my friend, unfortunately. We see that here often, they ask for forgiveness and turn around and repeat the same bad behavior again.
Bad behaviour exists everywhere. Sadly, for some unknown reason, it seems more tolerated here.

Seems we were thinking similarly with our posts. No one is perfect. Some seem to get away with their bad behaviours more than others so they think it's acceptable. Hope you have a great week!

'Take time to think before you speak', seems appropriate

Unfortunately, we are bombarded with it! No doubt, this is a time NOT to ignore your inner voice! Be wise! Be safe!

I was brought up to say it like I mean it. That has both helped and hindered me in life but as long as I'm genuine about it that is all that truly matters.

I had a friend that used to type out what she was feeling in a heated moment and email those thoughts to herself. She'd re-read the message the next day and usually change it significantly. She had the benefit of letting her inner voice out without all of the destructive consequences. Some may only have that inner voice to listen to in these strange times we find ourselves.

Stay safe out there sexyldy1000!

I have also heard of people writing down their thoughts and then burning them as a way of ‘letting go’. Today’s world is indeed unlike anything else our generation has experienced. Safety first is the recurring mantra.

You can't unring the bell. Tho, you can learn from it. Sadly, most don't. There are times where I write my emotions, let's me vent for that immediate gratification. After some time has passed, had time to process those feelings.Rarely do I send/say what I had written at first ... *hugs*

In Luv, Lite, Laffter ...
