Once you’ve identified your ego’s voice, the second step is to let it go. When you hear negative thoughts that you’ve decided aren’t your own, or you want to get rid of, you can take its power away. It’s practically impossible to stop them from occurring altogether, but you can use your awareness and energy to help them disappear.
Negative thoughts are only harmful when you listen to them, let them stick around, and then take them to heart. When this happens negativity and judgment begin to define you. If you give your energy to these thoughts they become real. But, you can choose to acknowledge the negative thoughts and then let them pass right through you. You can imagine them as little clouds or balloons. They’re filled with air -nothing substantial- so they’ll blow away or pop just with your intention -your energy. Once you stop allowing the negative voice in your head to affect you mentally and emotionally, you remove its power over you.
Another way to overpower your ego’s voice with your own is through positive encouragement. Utilize the power of your authentic voice by repeating a positive and loving word or phrase to yourself. That way when you’re struggling to quiet the negative voice in your head or let its thoughts go, you can find confidence in the true you.
