THE FOUR VOICES OF LEADERSHIP:

WHICH ONE ARE YOU LISTENING TO?

The University of Maryland School of Medicine found that our inner dialogue affects our blood pressure, heart health, and cortisol levels of stress. The National Science Foundation did extensive research about human thoughts per day. I’ve mentioned this before, yet I still find it fascinating.
  • The average person has about 60,000 thoughts per day.
  • Of those 60,000 thoughts, 80% are negative and 95% are exactly the same repetitive thoughts as the day before.
  • It reveals that our bodies respond to how we think, feel, and act.

BIG TAKEAWAY:
Our body, emotional, and soulful chemistry are driven by our thoughts.

Leaders must be intentional about what voice they’re listening to. It’s larger than trying to think positively.

It should be driven by four voices:

A final word about your thoughts:
Imagine the difference in the quality of our mental and physical health if we reduced the 80% negative thoughts. We can reverse that with positive and uplifting thoughts.
  • Journal about good thoughts.
  • Read inspiring words.
  • Become aware of your self-talk. Be kind to yourself.
Here’s to listening to your voice of greatness!
