Honestly, it still says many of the same things. As you say, it's not going to go away over night. The difference is that now I know it's there. I'm listening for it, conscious of it. CHOOSING not to buy in to what she's selling because I know that voice comes place of fear and insecurity.

With awareness and time mostly. In order to kill the fear and insecurity driven voice, I'm gonna kill the fear and insecurity. That takes positive self talk, being true to myself and continuing to dig.

I think it is still there, still whispering, but I am conscious of it, and working to make sure that it does not direct me. You are right, sometimes it takes time to see that it is at play, to see something for what it is. All I can do is work hard to see it, become more and more aware and push myself to be true. For example, I am struggling with whether or not I can balance a full time job, my part time business, being a single mom and having time for myself to just unwind. I do not want to give up my business, but I struggled with why ... was it because I was afraid to let my upline down, or because it was something I truly wanted to do for ME. Now I know it's for me and it's something I want to do.
