Your Inner Voice Audit

I notice only after I have shut down or reacted. I hear the harshness, but only after it has taken over. Sometimes I notice early and sometimes late. I usually catch the tone before it controls me. I notice the message, test its fairness, and choose how to respond.

I treat it as the complete truth. I argue with myself but still believe it. I can see both the facts and my feelings. I usually question whether it is accurate and suitable. I check whether the thought is true, fair, and kind.

I would be shocked by how cruel it is. I know it is harsh, but rarely interrupt it. It contains both criticism and support. It is usually firm without becoming hurtful. It sounds like an honest, wise supporter who still expects growth.
