In today’s world we are constantly interrupted by marketing messages, adverts, music, video and all sorts of information via the Internet. We are bombarded day in and day out.

A few months ago, my car was broken into and, among other things, my CD/Radio Player was stolen. After getting my car repaired, I didn’t bother to get the CD/Radio replaced. I found I’ve enjoyed the quietness in the car while driving. It meant that instead of being distracted by the music, I could actually hear myself think.

It got me thinking what is my constant internal dialogue saying?

Have you ever had a jingle you’ve heard from some tv ad stuck in your head all day, just repeating over and over? Or perhaps the latest catchy pop song? You might even find yourself humming to your self while working or driving.

Is this programming of your internal dialogue empowering you? Wouldn’t it be better to rather be thinking about something more along the lines of visualizing your goals, working out and reprioritizing your action plan, reaffirming a positive state?
