Mindfully listening to your own voice script 1

When you are listening to someone else speak, you are really hearing the words coming out of the speaker. But when you are talking to yourself, you aren’t really hearing yourself.

This is a skill that will help you develop greater self-awareness and become more mindful about the internal dialogue that happens throughout the day.

Find a comfortable meditation posture and invite gentleness into the body from the beginning.

Notice any discomfort or tension in the body and try to soften around it. Bring to mind a phrase that you repeat to yourself often. In this exercise, you can use a phrase from the following list, or you can create a phrase of your own:

I’m okay.

I’m having a great day.

I have a lot going on.

I’m grateful for what I have.

There’s nothing wrong with me.

My thoughts are my own.

I’m not angry.

I’m not anxious.

I’m not stressed.

Everything is fine.

What I’m feeling is just right.

Everything is wonderful.

The world is beautiful.

There’s no problem here.

I’m okay.

Tuning into your inner wisdom script 2

The practice of mindfulness is about being aware of the present moment. The more present you are, the better decisions you make.

When we focus on our mind, we are most likely thinking about what we want to happen next. We often get caught up in thoughts and emotions.

However, our mind is also capable of listening to something we are hearing, and it knows when there is a need for action.

We can learn to listen to what our body is telling us through our inner wisdom. We can listen to our intuition.

Our body and mind often tell us different things. We can use this information to help us make wise choices.

There are many ways to do this.

Close the eyes and focus on the body. Bring awareness to the breath. How does the body feel? Can you feel tension? Where?

Next, focus on your thoughts. What is going through your mind right now? How does it feel? Can you feel emotion? What is your internal dialogue like?

Finally, pay attention to the inner wisdom of your mind. Listen to what it tells you. What do you need to do in this situation?

What would you tell your best friend if you were talking with them about a choice? How would you guide them?

These are the questions you can ask yourself. The answers will come more easily if you focus your attention on listening.

You can listen to your thoughts in the same way you listen to what your body and mind are telling you. Ask these questions: Is this thought accurate? Does it provide the information I need to make a wise decision? Am I willing to listen to the thoughts that come up in the mind?

Mindfully listening to your own voice script 3

We often get caught up in our own thinking. The mind becomes lost in the stories we tell ourselves and the thoughts we think. We get lost in our own internal dialogue.

With mindfulness, you can hear yourself and the voices that arise within the mind. You can learn to stay grounded and grounded in your experience, allowing your thinking to shift without losing your place in the moment.

Sit comfortably.

Invite awareness to enter your body from the beginning. Bring the awareness to the sensation of the body breathing. Feel the inhales and exhales, the rising and falling of the chest, belly, and shoulders.

If you are distracted or overwhelmed with other thoughts, bring your attention back to the breath.

Once your attention settles, bring to mind something that you would like to do. Imagine the task, feeling it in your body. Notice the thoughts that come into the mind. Let them come and go, noticing their passing without judgment.

Bring awareness to the thought of doing this task. See the thought arise and then disappear.

Stay with the thought of this task for several breaths.

Then turn your attention to the second thing that you would like to do. Repeat this process of bringing awareness to the thought, noticing the thoughts that come into the mind, letting them pass, and staying with the activity for a few breaths.

After a few minutes, notice that you are thinking about doing these two tasks. It feels good to be thinking, right? Bring your attention back to the breath.

Continue the practice for a few minutes. Notice the thoughts that arise, notice the thoughts that pass, and stay present to the activity of being aware.
