Hey leaders. Welcome to episode 85!
In today’s episode, I’m sharing the impact of hearing your own voice. And recording your own personalized mantra is one way to create big impact for yourself.
A mantra can be used to help change the pathways in our brains to help us adopt beliefs that serve us better. We can use our own personal mantra to replace beliefs that are unhelpful, negative, or simply not true for us.
I also give you three simple steps in episode 83 to create your own mantra.
Once you have your own powerful mantra you’ll want to record your saying it with your own voice. This is incredibly powerful in changing the pathways in your brain.
You’ll want to listen to it really, on a daily basis. Ideally morning and night. By listening every morning it helps you set your mind for the day.
By listening every night, it helps solidify your thoughts and beliefs. It can also help bring you back to these intentional thoughts if the day didn’t unfold in support of your mantra. We all have those days!
The important message for today is that your own voice is incredibly powerful when creating a mindset and then have your actions, activities, and choices support and back up what you want to create.
Let’s talk about the two issues that get in the way of recording your own voice.
1. It feels funny when we talk to ourselves!
2. We hate the sound of our own voice.
Ok first of all, yes it can feel funny when we talk to ourselves. So what. The benefits totally outweigh this feeling funny business. So just do it. Also, once you’ve done it, it feels less funny.
2nd. We hate the sound of our own voice. Let me explain so this doesn’t hold you back. We normally hear our own voice while talking. We don’t often hear our recorded voice.
According to the docs and the research, when we’re talking we’re getting both sounds transferred to our ears externally by air conduction and sound transferred internally through our bones. It’s the bone conduction of sound that gives low frequencies that aren’t included in air-conducted vocal sound.
So when you hear your recorded voice without these frequencies, it sounds higher – and different. Basically, the reasoning is that because our recorded voice does not sound how we expect it to, we don’t like it.
I experienced both of these things when I first recorded myself years ago. I felt silly. And I didn’t like the sound of my voice. I thought “Is this what other people hear?” turns out no, because of the previous explanation.
The key is that I did not let either of these things stop me.
I did it anyway. And you can too.
And I have to say, when I record myself and listen, it has a different impact on my clarity and motivation. It also has a quick way of truing up where my actions have fallen short of where I want them. I can quickly see where I haven’t been following through and what I need to do to get back to where I want to be.
So, start talking to yourself. Grab the voice recorder on your phone and record your mantra. Record yourself painting a vivid picture of the results you’re after. Record yourself describing in full detail with all senses the business and life you’re after.
It doesn’t have to be long. It simply has to be your voice, in detail and with passion telling yourself exactly what you need to hear. Do this however you work best. For some, that’s hitting record and speaking from the heart.
For others, it’s writing out your mantra, your goals and dreams and then recording.
Do it however you work best.
Of course, I love sousing this out in a strategy session asking key questions to help paint these vivid inspiring pictures. And how about some accountability to actually get this done for yourself? If this is what you need simply email me at tammy@nullcrazybigdreams.biz.
This strategy is simple and your results are waiting!
The best is yet to come, friend. Always.
