How to Stop the War in Your Head and Find Peace

People talk within themselves throughout the waking time which is known as internal conversation, internal monologue, self-talk, inner speech, inner discourse, or internal discourse. It is quite natural and normal. 

However, some people argue in their heads which leads to internal conflict, anxiety, and depression. Most challenges in individuals arise due to the arguments within their minds. 

When people feed their minds with negative information they evolve as negative individuals whereas when people feed their minds with positive information they evolve as positive individuals. 

Don’t Waste Your Precious Mental Time

When you argue in your head, you poison your mind and waste your precious time. It may have adverse effects on the people around you. People often think that wasting time is physical. It is mental as well. 

People waste more of their mental time and less physical time in their lives. When you think about negative people and unpleasant events from the past excessively you waste your precious time mentally. 

Research shows that people waste 30 percent of their time thinking about their unpleasant past that cannot be changed. 

So, learn to live in the present without thinking about your unpleasant past and worrying about the future. Feed your mind with positive thoughts and work constructively and creatively to achieve success.

Avoid Becoming A Chronic Overthinker 

Overcome the paralysis of analysis. Avoid thinking as follows: I wish I succeeded as an entrepreneur. I wish I was born into a healthy family. I wish I had a regular education. I wish I had education from eminent educational institutions. I wish I had a mentor or coach in my early life to become successful. 

Avoid irrational imaginative internal arguments. Be realistic and practical. Be positive and confident. See the light in you to lead your life with peace and happiness.

“Nobody can bring you peace but yourself.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Avoid Imaginary Irrational Arguments In Your Head

Here are some tips to avoid arguing in your head. Don’t take unhealthy criticism personally. Be thick-skinned. Avoid the individuals who enjoy arguing with others. Don’t react to them. Ignore them. 

Act positively. Detach from negative individuals and attach to positive individuals. Have self-awareness. Understand the power of internal monologue and leverage it constructively. Write down the journal.

Rehearsing Arguments Is A Double-Edged Sword

Research shows that rehearsing arguments in your mind ends up causing more harm than good leading to mental illness and damaging your body. It adversely affects your mind and body. 

However, litigation lawyers often rehearse a lot mentally before they actually argue in the courts. Before writing an article or research paper, I play out the whole scenario. 

Before uploading a video on my YouTube channel, I play out the whole scenario. Before I attend an interview podcast or webinar as a guest, I play out the whole scenario. 

It helps me contribute my best as I anticipate probable questions and rehearse my answers. So, playing out the whole scenario is a double-edged sword. It all depends on how you use your mind and subconscious mind.

Avoid war in your head. Remember that the internal enemy is more dangerous than the external enemy. So, avoid your internal arguments to check your internal enemy. 

Calm down your irrational argumentative mind to lead your life mindfully and meaningfully. Your mind is a masterpiece. You can use it either for constructive or destructive activities. It is under your control. Don’t make a mess of it. Use it constructively to build a better world. 

To summarize, use the power of the subconscious mind positively to stop arguing in your head to excel as a positive individual and perceive others positively. You can talk great things with others and inspire them. 

Remember, you are what you feed your mind. So feed your mind positively to excel as a healthy individual.
