I love what Marianne shared about processing the Voice that feels the most like "me." That sounds to me like an intuitive process. Our emotions are very powerful and telling when we use them as a tool to "feel" our way around Who We Are. We all have an internal knowing of sorts; if we pay closer attention to that Knowing, we will learn so much about ourselves.

My answer to the question: There are many voices I hear; but I notice the difference in the voice of Who I Am or my Higher Self or my Intuition (many names for this voice of wisdom!). When I do a Q & A in my journal, this is when that Voice is the clearest and the loudest. I am often surprised by what this voice has to say. It really does get to the point but is also detailed. It is a voice that is true and can be relied on. I think it's awesome that's it's available any time I need it! How about you?

  Madeline Tasky Sharples I don't experience so many voices - mostly my own but in many moods. I know for sure when I'm upset because I rant. I also have a very tired voice.

  Dawn Herring Very tired, ah, Madeline.  Does journaling help you feel less tired? Does it energize you? I find it helps me settle the angst when I need to.

  Madeline Tasky Sharples That's why journaling is so important to my life. It also helps me organize my days and gives me the prodding I need to do my writing work when necessary.

  Dawn Herring I would say that the most defined voice many folks hear is the voice of the challenger or critic as some call it. I think it's a nuisance and can undermine self confidence. That's why I initiate the Higher Self since it doesn't have that kind of tone.

  Madeline Tasky Sharples I write a to do list usually at the end of my daily journal entry. And I feel once I write it down, I have to get those to dos done. I also write down my accomplishments as well.

  Dawn Herring I also write a to do list with my journal entry; it's an awesome way to get focused and centered so I know what direction I'm headed in and what my priorities are. Madeline, I'm loving the writing down what you did; it's a validating process to show what went right that day!

  Marianne Ingheim Rossi I'm going to start writing down my accomplishments. I write to-do lists but then I get down on myself for what I haven't done and forget what I've actually accomplished! Speaking of the inner critic...

  Madeline Tasky Sharples I think it's very validating to write our accomplishments down. It's kept me very focused on my novel revision process.

  Dawn Herring Whether it's a small something or something we've been wanting to do for a while, journaling our accomplishments can really boost our confidence as we give ourselves a pat on the back for a job well done! I love it!

  Marianne Ingheim Rossi It's a continuous process of evaluating what feels like Me and what doesn't. I tend to get caught up in what other people think and I have a really hard time making decisions. Journaling helps me weed out the voices that don't feel right to me. And for decision-making it's an invaluable tool!

  Dawn Herring Decision making is huge; and using our journaling practice to discern what feels right is an empowering process, Marianne. We honor Who We Are we do this. Then we can feel more confident in making those decisions. More power to us!!

I'm loving how we can use the Dialogue technique to listen to the various voices of Inner Critic and Higher Self and even our Tired Voice so we know what's really going on inside our hearts. Our journaling practice can really help us listen to Who We are and what really matters to us.
