Identify the negative voices in your head 

It’s important to silence negative voices because this type of voice is often used as a coping mechanism. 

If the voice is left unchecked, it can have a major effect on mental health which then negatively affects work performance or personal relationships.

The key, for this reason, is to identify the negative voices in your head, see if there are lessons that need to be learned from them and silence them by countering with positive thoughts and affirmations. 

These techniques are well-known but not always practiced-identifying the problem is only halfway done! 

Focusing on what we do not want is a sure-fire way to getting more of it. 

If you constantly focus and worry about things that are going wrong, then you will get even more of them happening! 

When you silence those negative thoughts by focusing on silence, they won’t have as much of a power over you. 

You can silence these thoughts by using positive self-talk or affirmations to silence the negative voices in your head.

Recognise the negative voice does not need a response 

It is important to recognise that every time one of those negative thoughts pop up, it doesn’t mean that they are true! 

Those voices don’t need a response. 

They just want to be heard because they are afraid that you will silence them if you don’t listen to them. 

Understand their fear and silence it by refusing to respond!

Use positive self-talk as a replacement for negative voice

It’s critical to quash these negative ideas by repeating positive self-talk and affirmations since this is a common coping method. 

Uncensored, this voice can have a major effect on mental health which then negatively affects work performance or personal relationships.

The key consists of identifying the problem and silence those voices by countering with positive thoughts and affirmations. 

These techniques are well-known but not always practiced – identifying the problem is only halfway done! 

When you silence both sides of your brain (the creative thinker vs the critical thinker), then you will be able to silence those negative voices that compete against one another. 

Without either side giving into these unhealthy habits, it becomes easier to silence thoughts that do nothing good for anyone.

It can also help to replace the negative thoughts with something more positive instead of trying to silence them. 

It is important to replace negative thoughts with positive ones so that you can have a more balanced life and feel better about yourself overall!

Replace negative voices and language with positive language

It doesn’t have to be a black or white situation . You can feel good about yourself many ways with various skills, assets, and attributes you have.

Negative language:  I’m no good at math.

Positive language:  I’m good at solving problems in math to figure it out.

Negative language:  I’ll never get this finished on time.

Positive language:  There’s enough time to finish and I will do well.

Negative language:  I can’t believe you did that! You’re so stupid!

Positive language:  You just made a mistake. Let’s work together to solve it.

Negative language:  This is going to be the worst party ever!

Positive language:  I can organize and plan and do something fun and different than we’ve done before.

Get rid of the things that are bringing you down 

It might also be time to get rid of some of those toxic people or habits in your life that are really bringing you down.

If you are surrounded by people who always bring you down or make you feel bad about yourself, then that can have a big impact on how often those negative thoughts pop into your head. 

It is time to silence them once and for all!

Focus on what makes you happy

Give credit when you do something right instead of criticising yourself

It is also important that we learn how to give ourselves some credit occasionally, as well! We often are our own worst critics and are hard on ourselves. 

Instead of criticizing yourself for mistakes or failures, give yourself credit when you do something right! 

Say positive things about yourself 

Remember that the only thing we can control is how we speak to ourselves. 

So instead of saying anything negative about yourself, say positive things instead! 

Include a concluding statement to tie everything together and summarize the points made in this post. 

Some examples include: “We silence our negative thoughts by identifying them as what they are, being aware of why we have them, replacing them with more positive ones. 

Also, giving ourselves credit when we do something right instead of criticizing or shaming ourselves for mistakes. 

I recommend making a list that doesn’t include anything negative.

It’s like taking everything away from your life that is weighing you down, writing affirmations to replace them with, and only talking good things about yourself.

You can silence the negative voices by replacing them with what makes you happy and good things in life as well as practicing journaling and gratitude occasionally. 

 Best ways to silence your negative voices are to practice Gratitude and Journaling 

Gratitude

Gratitude is an amazing way to silence your inner critic, as well as silence those nagging self-doubt “demons” that like to creep into our heads from time to time! 

• Start by writing down at least one thing you are grateful for each day. It can be as simple as your morning coffee, or the fact that you have a roof over your head. 
• Take a notebook or your phone with you during the day and write down at least one thing that makes you smile. When self-doubt starts creeping in telling you why on earth someone would want to read about what goes on inside your head, silence them by reminding yourself of all those great things going on. 
• Another way to silence negative voices is to use positive affirmations. One of my favourite ways for this is to write out a list of the things I love about myself, and then read it back to myself whenever self-doubt or nagging negative voices start their chatter in my head! 

Journaling

Journaling is also an excellent way to silence those negative voices in our heads! 

Journal about what’s going on inside of your mind at any given moment. This will help you gain perspective and remind yourself just how amazing life is if we take a moment to silence the negative voices and step outside of our own heads. 

To silence the negative voices and silence self-doubt “demons” doesn’t have to be difficult. It’s all about being kinder to yourself, putting in a little bit of effort daily and starting by sharing your story with someone you trust can help! 

Use positive talk and affirmations

Positive self-talk is also an excellent way to silence those pesky little inner critics that like to tell us we’re never good enough or remind ourselves daily how important it is to silence them! Try starting your day by reciting affirmations such as “I am good enough”, or “All is well”.

How to change negative talk into a positive self-talk

·     When you’re in a bad mood or having a negative self-talk, it’s because you’re creating images /movies in your mind’s eye that will make you feel terrible and talk down to yourself.

·      Take note of the sounds, images, and emotions you experienced. Consider what you want to accomplish and how wonderful you wish to feel. What is the greatest good state to be in?

·      Replace the negative image with a more pleasant one. Then, by repeating your successful shut up mantra, you’ll be able to silence your negative voice for good.

·      Replace them with kind, encouraging statements, compliments, and suggestions. -> e.g. . If you said I’m stupid, say shut up and replace it with I’m bright; now you are more aware of your thoughts and thinking clearly. Then get out of that mindset by breathing in for 10 seconds and out for 10 seconds before envisioning yourself feeling confident and capable, then do that repeatedly. Feel what you felt then, hear what you heard then, and be joyful again as you did then; spin this great sensation into infinity, more and more, and feel it all throughout your body. 

This is an example of how to break free from past experiences of being criticized. Imagine your most successful moment in the past when everything was going right for you. How did you feel? What were you thinking? Relive this experience clearly in your mind’s eye with all your senses.

Keep repeating these feelings, thoughts, and images in your mind’s eye repeatedly. Now visualize yourself in the present moment having success fully satisfied with no need for approval from others. How do you feel? What are you thinking? 

By practicing this positive language five minutes a day, you will become aware of when to use this new language and when to revert to your old negative talk. And then you will be able to break free from the past by using it!

Once you’ve mastered this, you can apply these techniques of breaking free in real life: change negative feelings and images of yourself, others, and the future by feeling confident and capable, and strongly believe in your own greatness!

What to take with you today,

Negative voices are a result of your thoughts and feelings. 

They’re created by the images you imagine in your mind’s eye, sounds that you hear, and emotions that arise from these perceptions. 

To silence this voice for good, use positive affirmations to replace those negative thoughts with kinder ones. 

Journaling can also be helpful as it allows you to express gratitude for all the successes in your life.
