How to Win the Battle with Your Inner Voice
I was listening to Neville Goddard recently, and he said something that, as a behavioural profiler, i know to be true and holds many back:
Your inner dialogue creates your world.
The problem?
We all have doubts.
We all hear that inner voice that argues back whenever we set a goal or repeat a mantra.
You say: “I’m going to launch my business this year.”
Your head replies: “Yeah, where are you going to get the money from?”
You say: “I’ll finally make time for my health and fitness.”
Your head replies: “Yeah, but when? You’re already too busy.”
You say: “I’m going to grow this to six figures.”
Your head replies: “Yeah right, not in this economy.”
You say: “This time I’ll actually follow through.”
Your head replies: “Yeah, you’ve said that before.”
You say: “I can build something amazing for my family.”
Your head replies: “Yeah, but with this government you’ve got no chance.”
You say: “I’m going to smash my targets this month.”
Your head replies: “Yeah, and what if you fail again? You’ll just look stupid.”
Sound familiar?
Here’s the truth:
You can NEVER escape from your inner voice...BUT you can beat it
It’s okay that you can’t always keep a perfect positive mental attitude.
You can’t stop that voice completely... but you can deal with it.
So from now on, let’s call give that voice a name:
- It helps make it NOT you,
- I use one of the following inter-changed - Nobby Naysayer or Doubting Dobbie (or something even stronger)
....It helps to give it a negative or discredited name as the psychology is stronger for you
When Doubting Dobbie shows up, you don’t need to fight him with brute force positivity. Instead, you train yourself to pivot, redirect, and overpower him. And like lifting weights, you won’t be strong straight away.
You start light.
You build resilience.
You build strength.
And very quickly,
Doubting Dobbie shows up less often and with far less power.
Here’s a simple six-step flow to use every time he pipes up:
🔑 1. Catch It
Notice the negative thought. Don’t let it sneak by.
🔑 2. Name It
“Ah, that’s Doubting Dobbie again.” Once it’s named, it’s not you.
🔑 3. Interrupt It
Break the loop. Clap, snap, or say “Cancel!” out loud.
🔑 4. Reframe It
Ask a better question:
- Doubt: “What if I fail?”
- Reframe: “What if I succeed?”
- Or: “What can I learn if it doesn’t work out?”
🔑 5. Anchor It
Visualise the end scene. Repeat the new belief 3–5 times with emotion.
🔑 6. Move Your Body
Shift your state. Stand tall, breathe deep, smile. Your body leads your mind.
💡 Example in Action:
Negative loop: “I’ll never get this business off the ground.”
- Catch: “Ah, that’s Doubting Dobbie.”
- Interrupt: Clap hands.
- Reframe: “What if this is the breakthrough month?”
- Anchor: “It feels amazing to serve my first 20 clients.”
- Move: Stand tall, breathe deep.
Result: doubt loses its grip. Belief takes the wheel.
👉 So here’s my challenge to you:
You may not think it can be this simple (not easy) but what have you got to lose to try?
Next time Doubting Dickhead shows up, don’t fight him, don’t ignore him. Catch him, flip him, and train your inner voice like a muscle.
Question for you all:
When your Doubting Dickhead shows up, what’s his favourite line?
