Five Pathways to Listening to Your Inner Voice by Claudette Rowley

you follow your intuition, what happens? When you hear it

and disregard it, what's the outcome?

4. Notice your self-saboteur.

Each of us has our very own special saboteur. The saboteur

is the voice in your head that says, "You are not good

enough." "Who do you think you are?" "If you take this new

job, everyone will find out what a fraud you are." The

saboteur's job is to "protect" you from taking risks and

making changes.

Benefits: Learn to distinguish between your voice and the

saboteur's mumbo-jumbo. Notice how the inner critic drives

the choices and decisions you make.

New Focus: Simply notice the negative voices playing in

your head. Notice the times when they crop up. Recognize

that the voices aren't you and they aren't true. Learning

to separate your own voice from that of the saboteur is a

powerful and life changing tool.

5. Identify limiting beliefs.

We each carry a set of beliefs that we live by. Certain

beliefs you hold consciously, while others are mainly

unconscious. Beliefs develop out of past experiences and

our interpretations of those experiences. Some of the

conscious and unconscious beliefs that you develop limit

your ability to grow and move forward in your life. For

example: One of your goals as a successful entrepreneur is

to make a lot of money. You discover that you have a belief

- a limiting one - that it's wrong to make a lot of

money. Until you begin to alter your beliefs about money,

it will be more difficult for you to achieve that financial

success you desire.

Benefits: Learning to notice a limiting belief allows you

to become conscious of it, and then change it. Releasing a

belief that limits you puts you back in the driver's seat

of your life. You, rather than an old belief, make the

choices that are right for you and allow you to fulfill

your potential

Ways to spot a limiting belief:

* You tell yourself that you only have one or two

choices in a situation, or "no choice" at all.

* Your inner critic expresses his or her opinion. The

inner critic's opinion is generally based in a

limiting belief.

* A decision may appear to be black and white to you,

or an either/or situation.

* You have decided that "this is the way the world is."

* You make a decision based on fear.

* You feel constricted and notice that you lack clarity about

a specific situation.

New Focus: How does a particular belief allow you to

attract what you really want in life? How does it prevent

you from attaining your goals? When you reach an obstacle

in your path, make sure that it's not an old belief in your

way.

When important questions like "What do I want?" or "What's the

right choice for me to make?" surface in your mind, consult your

inner voice. You possess the answers you need to live a life that

feels successful and fulfilling. Listening to your inner voice

can lead you on a path that feels deeply satisfying. Your

business and personal lives will flourish with this new level of

trust in yourself.
