THOSE INCESSANT VOICES IN YOUR MIND...ARE REAL! Internal dialog Is a neurological phenomenon that begins when we first acquire language around age 2. This inner speech, as neuroscientists call it, is essential for helping us handle the complexities and ambiguities in the world. Theres always a positive and negative voice (and also a wise intuitive voice that we often overlook). When we experience failure, this becomes one of our worrisome voices whispering to us why not give up? But the biological nature of all living creatures is to keep exploring the world. There will always be two voices going on. I love the old Indian tale where the elder describes 2 wolves inside him: one pleasant and generous, the other mean and selfish. His grandson asks, Which wolf wins? The elder responds: The one I feed. This is a fundamental neurological, psychological, and business truth, and we all have a choice to listen to one or the other voice. Sometimes a person says Whats the point of wanting goals when life sometimes throws curve balls? My response: its true, but most of the time it doesnt. Sometimes well hit a home run, and sometimes we strike out, but for me, whats most important is this: I love playing games, and as long as I wake up each morning curious about what type of ball will come at me today, I know I am winning the game of life! -Mark Waldman, Praxis Now Neuroscience Coach
