Many of us at one time or another have crooned a tune or two in the shower (some slightly better than others).  Most of us have also talked to ourselves, either out loud or in the quite confines of our own mind.  Usually, however, when we do talk to ourselves, we do so to assist in problem solving, for motivation, or to reinforce an idea.

But what happens when we are at odds with what this so-called "inner voice" is telling us?  In other words, what happens when we do one thing, but our "iv" is tell us something different?

Sometimes that inner voice is a bad thing, but more often than not, is a good thing, often called a conscience.  It tells us when enough is enough, it tell us when we should move on, or take a chance, or it warns us, or consoles us.

When there is a difference between you want to do and what your mind may be telling you, consider a technique I tell most people while they are working out conflicts ... what would you tell an eight year old child!

More often than not, common sense kicks in and the advice you would give a child is the advice you should probably take yourself.

Empower yourself ... Ask!
