The Beginners Guide to Self-Awareness

Silence the Voice.

It all begins with simply noticing. Ever notice that little voice in your head, the narrator of your decisions. That is your ‘gnome’. The voice in your head is the little guy intent on making you miserable, panicking you about the future, making you second guess the past. This voice we will refer to as the ‘gnome’ or ‘gremlin’, whatever you choose to call it, is not your negative thoughts but the source of them. The very first natural step in becoming self-aware is identifying this ‘gnome’ and learning how to silence it, disconnect from it, or shut it down. There is an entire book Taming Your Gremlin rather a how to guide, on best ways to Tame, or better yet, silence the voice. Self-awareness is an important part of learning to take control of your life. You are responsible for your choices, and the consequences of those choices. Become self-aware, acknowledge the ‘voice’, tame it or silence it.
