For as long as I can remember magic has been a part of my life.
I’m not talking about the ‘make-an-elephant-disappear’ or ‘pull-the-rabbit-from-the-hat’ type of magic – although that’s cool – I’m talking about the magic of relationships.
Like when you kiss a soulmate for the first time, or hang out with friends and bond over yummy pizza and a rom-com movie. Or when you break up with someone you cared about and got relationship advice from your parents while your heart mended.
That type of magic.
And coming from a family of five, I grew up competing with my brothers for computer time and video games (as long as they were of the driving variety!). Gamer girl and tech geek in my family. Did I mention I had a competitive streak?
Following university, I fell into many varied office-based jobs – insert boring title here! No job ever filled me with passion, so I looked to the web for something that would provide a challenge and a way to replace my day job!
I found a great community and training site called Location Rebel, where I could learn everything I needed to make my own way in the world. I started there in August 2011, by June 2012, I’d quit my day job and moved into full time freelance writing!
With some of the expertise I gained from working for 15+ years on real life writing projects (read, boring administration jobs!), I founded my own company, determined to bring what I had on offer to similarly minded people who were still in the dark regarding freelance writing and making a successful career out of it, but in a meaningful way.
I’ve been called many things, some not worth mentioning here, but really, I’m just good at connecting with people. Showing people that they can do this or anything they put their mind to.
Get a Quick Start On Tackling Your Self-Sabotaging Inner Voice
Lise Cartwright is like that person you meet on an airplane with whom you immediately bond. She totally gets you and offers solutions to problems you haven't even been ready to confess. In this case, Cartwright creates a framework for taking that nasty, self-doubting voice that grinds you down just enough that you pull yourself back from taking bold strides.
This isn't an abusive inner voice, it's the voice that says, "Oh, c'mon, are you sure you want to risk doing a mediocre job?" It's the voice that says, "Puleeeze, you don't have time to take on that project, and you're just going to quit." Cartwright has a name for her own inner voice - Neville - and as she shares her framework for helping the reader quiet that little (and sometimes booming) voice that keeps you in your comfort zone, you'll learn how to do it, too.
Cartwright appeals to readers on both sides of the spectrum – those of us who want logical, step-by-step approaches to solving a problem, even psychological roadblocks, and those who are willing to embrace a bit of "woo." I fall into the former category, and stopped for a quick second when Cartwright had a short aside about "The Secret" and abundance principle-esque things and mindfulness, but the ease with which Cartwright pushes past any doubt and shows how to effect serious change with these easily implemented behaviors should dispel any doubts.
This book is on the short side, and is breezy in that way that pegs Cartwright as a New Zealander and not-at-all uptight. She occasionally calls the reader "Lovely" as a nickname, and just keeps the material moving. There are a handful of anecdotes, and some recommendations and links to other resources, but this has not been written by a lofty academic who fills a book with footnotes and PhD research. (I'm sure you can find this elsewhere.) At heart, this is a book that lays out a clear framework for dealing with a common psychological roadblock to getting out of one's comfort zone and committing to opportunities for greatness.
If you have a dream but you never get past the first few steps, or if you're living the dream but keep finding unspecified fear holding you back from the big moves, Mind the Chatter will teach you how to quiet the voice that tells you to hold back, and give you an arsenal of inspiring shields and weapons against that fear.
For starters, Lise Cartwright is a deeply-authentic, truthful writer. No pretense -- just straight talk in a wonderfully engaging, conversational (and really funny!) style.
Most of us have "inner voices" -- the self-protective messages from our subconscious that tend to make us cautious, even fearful, and cause us to doubt ourselves and limit our potential for happiness and success. In "Mind the Chatter, " Cartwright provides expert insights, drawn from her own experience, and easy-to-implement action steps to free us from our own self-imposed limitations. While as she acknowledges, the book was written for women, guys can get just as much value from this book. Buy the book. Read it and take its message to heart. Then the next time your inner negative voice stars chirping at you, you too can say, "Buzz off!"
Everyone has an inner voice that is supposed to help us make decisions, rationalize things, even dream until we decide to step outside our comfort zone, take a chance. That’s when this inner voice becomes a nuisance, wants us to be careful, not make hasty decisions. Lise named her nemesis Neville.
Mind the Chatter is a fast read, packed with information, good advice and resources. Lise offers ways to develop a positive framework of affirmations in gratitude and mindfulness and visual reminders that you can do it.
She shows you how to quiet the irritating voice by naming it to tame it, then reframing and sustaining it with positive affirmations. I named mine Stormy and have no problems telling it to “scram, get lost, I’ve got this” as I study my dream board, planner and daily affirmations.
Short and to the point, this book makes quieting your inner critic simple. As long as you put in the effort, I believe the technique in Mind The Chatter will bring the results you're looking for. Lise Cartwright's writing style and concrete examples makes using this book not only easy but also enjoyable.
I love how the author describes her approach to solving the negative thoughts in her mind. Yes, everyone has inner voice but not all of us know how to deal with it. If you want to fight and turn the inner voice aka Neville in your favor, then follow and practice the principles in this book.
