the little voice in my head needs to shut up

We all have little voices in our head that tell us things. Things like 'He's cute, but he would never like me', 'I'm too old to do that', 'But I don't know how', 'I really shouldn't eat this cookie', 'Educated people don't use those kind of words' or 'When I have more money...'. The voice in my head commonly says 'I'm not good enough', or some variation of that. The voice usually sounds like it's speaking the truth. But have you ever thought about what other people would think if they heard your little voice? They would probably think it was ridiculous.

My little voice often says, in a variation, 'I'm not fit enough'. When I told Sheryl and Marlene about this voice's comments, they looked at me like I had two heads. Yep, it's competely ridiculous. Fit enough for what? If I'm not fit enough, is anyone fit enough?

This came up again on Sunday, when I realized that I am critical of myself because I somehow think that I don't look like someone who does PQ. That I don't have the right body type. I told Marlene this, and again the voice of reason rang out. 'What does someone who does PQ look like then? What should you look like?'

'Taller?'
