Use your voice to overcome difficult moments

Illustration

Everything you say – every word you pronounce and every sound of your voice – defines who you are, what you feel and what you are thinking. Being able to speak aloud and put your thoughts into words enables you to release your emotions, share valuable information and get rid of your worries. Otherwise your own thoughts could swallow you up or accumulate and eventually lead to an outburst of aggression. To speak aloud when you are on your own can help you in difficult times, according to an article on the management-issues.com website.

Talk out loud

Voicing thoughts out loud can help you rid yourself of the often overwhelming emotions you feel about certain events and situations. Try to talk aloud about the issues you have to deal with. Talk yourself through complicated matters where your decision is needed. Talk aloud about people who have angered or abused you: you will thus calm yourself down and as a result be better able to reconcile yourself to the given situation.

Therapeutic effects of speaking aloud

Certain extracts from poems and also prose can, when spoken with appropriate emotion, affect how you feel. Imagine the situation and then speak aloud. Express positive emotions by reciting lines about the beauty of life and the world … and your mood will be elevated. When you find yourself facing a precarious situation or a new, challenging opportunity, try to express unhelpful attitudes with your voice when you are on your own. This will set you free from your unduly aggressive thoughts and reactions. When the real moment or encounter comes, you will be much calmer. Use your voice to change your mood and uplift your spirit ... and discover just what a beneficial experience it is.
