When being triggered in a heated conversation that we were about to say something destructive, we might hear a voice asking, “Are you sure you want to say that?” That’s the voice of consciousness. It’s a timely wake-up call of the consequences we highly likely will face if let the triggered energy through.
Sometimes we can pause and think about it for a second. But sometimes, we aren't able to. Then regret.
It’s helpful to believe the voice is on our side even when we want to do the opposite.
