The best thing we can do is give our inner healer the chance to do its work.

Conquering Inner Voices

Do you know this: Often when you actually need courage and encouragement, an inner voice says to you: "You can't do it... You're missing...". These can be the voices of other people echoing within us or our own doubts and fears.

In this lesson, I want to give you tips on how you can disempower and conquer this inner voice – without years of training with autosuggestions.

First of all, listen carefully to what your inner voices are saying to you and write it down, e.g.: "I can't do it", "It will go wrong", "Why should I succeed", "You are incompetent" etc.

Now say these sentences, but with a changed speed:

• A) At double speed – this is how it sounds when you play a tape at multiple speeds.
• B) V e r y s l o w l y.

Surely you remember the voice of Mickey Mouse. Good, then say the sentence in a Mickey Mouse voice. Say the sentence multiple times. Alternatively, you can also hold your nose – then the sentence sounds even stranger and more unbelievable.

When you do this, you will soon no longer be able to take the sentence seriously. Instead of being impressed by it, you can laugh about it next time.

Finally, pick out some children's songs and sing the sentence to the rhythm of these children's songs, e.g. "Baloo the Bear", "Heidi", "Benjamin Blümchen" etc. This is no joke, but an extremely powerful method that can change your life. This method has enabled me and the participants of my seminars to bring about incredible changes in themselves. These methods will work for you too – you just have to try them and have fun with it.

Metaphor of the Week
The Timid Cotton Thread

Once upon a time, there was a little white cotton thread that was very afraid that, as it was, it was of no use. Desperately, it kept thinking: "I'm not good enough, I'm useless. I'm far too short for a sweater. Even for a tiny doll sweater, I'm useless! I'm far too weak for a ship's rope. I can't even be made into a jump rope! I can't tie myself to other strong, thick, long threads, they would just laugh at me anyway. I'm not suitable for embroidery either, I'm too pale and colorless for that. Yes, if I were made of gold thread, then I could decorate a stole or a dress... But like this?! I'm of no use at all. What can I do? No one needs me. No one notices me. No one likes me anyway."

So the little white cotton thread spoke to itself – day after day. It withdrew completely, listened to sad music, and cried a lot. It gave itself over entirely to self-pity.

One day, its new neighbor knocked on the door: a little white lump of wax. The wax lump wanted to introduce itself to the cotton thread. When it saw how sad the little white cotton thread was and heard the reason for it, it said: "Don't let yourself hang like that, you beautiful, little, white cotton thread. I have an idea: We should team up! I'm too little wax for a candle on the Christmas tree and you're too small as a wick, but for a tealight, it's enough. It's much better to light a small light than to always complain about the darkness!"

Then the little white cotton thread was very happy and teamed up with the little white lump of wax and said: "Finally, my existence has a meaning."

Who knows, maybe there are many little white cotton threads and many little white lumps of wax in the world that could team up to light up the world?!
