Empowerment and training your inner voice

- Going from fear to having confidence has really, giving me a sense of empowerment, and I now I feel like I can approach things with much higher awareness around, what is that inner voice in all of our heads. Now, my inner voice I've named Penelope and I apologize in advance to any of you that might be listening that have the name Penelope, there's nothing against the name Penelope, I just decided to name my inner voice Penelope when one of my colleagues did as well. That inner voice can be very destructive, it can tell us all sorts of things, like when your boss calls you, and wants to talk to you on Friday at five, you can jump to the conclusion you're getting fired, or you jump to the conclusion that someone may not like you, or a relationship is not workable. And so what I've had to do really, is understand how to train that inner voice, be aware of it, and really have a much better sense of who I am and confidence in who I am and what I've delivered and that has been very, very rewarding and I think it's again, a work in progress but it is something that we all I think have to deal with.
