The Art of Listening to the Self

I have been taking daily walks around the building I work at and it definitely helps me to relax from the stress my work and coworkers cause sometimes; my purpose of walking around was to get a little exercise since I do not leave any time out for it when I get home from work but I discover how it unexpectedly helps me in other ways.  I was able to  hear my own thoughts in a clear and confident way.  For instance, when I put myself in a group setting, I was able to hear my own thoughts while hearing what other people say.   Rather than agreeing to what people tell me, I was able to hear my own thoughts and saying no to things I don't want to do is much easier now than before. In addition, when I go through a problem, I was able to listen to my own voice and best of all, I notice I recover much quicker from the blows I get from personal problems for the past days.  Maybe I have changed and grew up as a person but those daily walks definitely put things in perspective and helps me to differentiate the voice of other people from my own voice.

Here are the benefits of listening to your own thoughts:
1. It helps you to think independently.  Confident people are independent thinkers.
2. It shows you what you want out of life. On a plus side, you have the gut to say your needs to people and you are certain of it. You are not afraid of rejection and guilt.
3.  It relaxes the mind.
4. It helps you think outside of the box, and this will come handy as problems arise.
5. Last and definitely not least, you will be more joyful with the life you are leading.
