I know people say I'm crazy, but I'm really not. I promise, but in Korea, I have recently notice that I have inner voice that tells me things in my head. It seems to be pretty helpful at least, i think its what keeps me sane. :) For example the other day my principal told me I need to lose 10 kg, so she wants me to walk to work everyday, instead of taking the subway. The inner voice is trick please, I hope she don't see me getting on the subway everyday. The outward reaction ok sure I will do, and I smile politely. A little boy attempts to play handball in the middle of my English class: First reaction what the hell is wrong with you? Are we serious? Don't make me Shank you. The inner voice says: Brianne he is just a child, enrolled in classes 14 hours a day. Give him a break. Simply ask him to stop. A drunk Korean man sits next to me on the subway, when there are hella open sits, and tried to touch my leg. First reactions. I will knock you the f out. I am twice your size. Choke him. Inner voice: Brianne making a fist is a assault in Korea. We don't do Korean prisons, so simply do a reactive karate chop and give him the stank eye and move on. Just wait to you learn some harsh Korean words.
I mean I could go on and on and on. I find that my inner voice comes out a lot these days in the company of fellow westerners or Koreans. Its interesting cuz I had noticed it a few times before in America, but I am starting to realize how smart the voice is. I didn't nearly give her enough credit. I just hope she doesn't get tired of me.

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I agree with the inner voice homie, Korean jail is not a good look.
It is through the mechanism of our inner voice that "spirit" communicates with us. It can be likened to the images portrayed on television of a little white angel standing on one side of our heads telling us the "right" thing to do, while our brain or analyzer stands on the other side (the little devil character), telling us what we "should" do, regardless of integrity or merit. Our inner voice can be thought of as our conscious, poking and prodding us into action or inaction as the case may be.
How many times has your inner voice told you to do something, you in turn choosing to ignore its promptings, only to find out it was a big mistake? I'll bet, in that moment, you say to yourself, "I should have listened to myself". Case and point, you were not paying attention to the guidance provided to you by your inner voice.
Your inner voice is there to help guide you along the path called life. Sometimes the promptings of our inner voice are subtle, reminding us to pay a bill or call a friend. Other times our inner voice can be more insistent, where it may seem as if it is nagging us, reminding us over and over of some unfinished business for perhaps days, weeks or even years.
