Do you want the positive methods or negative ones? One of the reasons I love my yoga teacher is she can effectively shut up the inside voices. I should tape her and listen to it at home. Or somehow bribe her to adopt me...
Eleni Gabre-Madhin, on Coming Home Former World Bank economist Eleni Gabre-Madhin returned to her native Ethiopia in August 2004 with the goal of establishing the Ethiopia Commodity Exchange, which would allow small farmers to more easily buy and sell products and store their surpluses rather than waste them. Gabre-Madhin's vision is that the exchange, which opened in April 2008, will help Ethiopia feed itself.
In 1984–85, the year of the famine that killed nearly a million Ethiopians, I was an undergraduate at Cornell. At dinner one night, other students started throwing food. And suddenly—shocking myself—I got up on a chair and I screamed, "Stop doing this! In my country people are starving!" In that moment, I knew that I owed my country something.
Anywhere the struggle is great, the level of ingenuity and inventiveness is high.
We spend most of our lives cutting down our ambitions because the world has told us to think small. Dreams express what your soul is telling you, so as crazy as your dream might seem—even to you—I don't care: You have to let that out.
*hug* I dunno hun, I try to sleep it off usually or else do my best to distract myself. you can make a conscious effort, but I find that works best if i actually go out with friends and work hard at having fun.
haha maria, feel free to call me next time you want someone to say shutup to the voices in your head :D
Btw, last night I had the voices in my head and I found it possible to shut them up. Ended up reading for about an hour to distract myself and was finally able to sleep...ughh :P

you consciously tell them to shutup and think about something else. I wouldn't reccommend if it didn't work.
Haha, will you tell my voices to shutup then? Maybe they'll obey you instead of meeee; I'm so sleepy since at night they really like to chatter!
