I believe making goals helps move people forward. I decluttered and gave away 6-7 trunk loads full of "stuff" and feel great with what I kept as my "favorites". I've since set 5-year, 3-year and 1-year financial goals and had to implement a strategy on how to achieve those goals- intentional spending. My faith keeps my inner voice pretty silent because I know ALL things come from God and if the Creator of the universe loves me and cares for me, what other voice do I need to listen to? Great advice on not listening to negative thoughts and being more confident in yourself!
My inner voice constantly tells me I could never be loved, that I am a failure and disappointment, that I don't deserve to be happy or successful. It's something I am currently working on changing (not letting these inner voices get the best of me or continue letting them influencing my actions) and with the help of what you mentioned in this video I'm sure I'll see progress. Thanks for doing what you do. Blessings to you and your growing family ❤
Sir, I honestly don't know how your channel doesn't have millions of subscribers because your conversations are of such value. You are so wise for such a young man. Thank you for your all your content. I can't wait for the book that I hope you are planning to write one day when you are not so busy taking care of your expanding family.
My therapy appointment day had a similar topic. I've got a job interview on Friday, I'm working on myself and the house I bought and it feels like to move forward I'm leaving a lot of familiarity behind. Scary but new things over the horizon I just gotta keep truckin!
My inner voice sometimes can be very difficult to work with whenever my emotions overwhelm me, so this video is honestly SO helpful and essential. Anger makes my inner voice become very negative, and the same can be said whenever I feel anxious, doubtful or just sad about something. Thanks for sharing, Ron! ❤️
I really needed to hear this today. I have just recently retired. And at times my inner voice can get the best of me. I am going to work on this with you recommendations. Thank you so very much.
Your content the last few months has been incredible!! I dont always remember to comment, but you have been so helpful! And my mean inner voice says, “your staff doesn’t like you and you aren’t contributing anything to the company’s success.”
Thank you Melissa! I’m extremely happy my content is reaching you and helping you. Also let’s kill that mean inner voice today and replace it with confident and encouraging words!
Oh Ronald, I love what you say. The internal voice can really affect how we see things. I really don’t like how the old adage ‘be it until you are it’ was subverted into the modern version ‘fake it till you make it’. The first adage implies acting confidently until it becomes a habit and our mindset gradually changes our thoughts to achieve each small goal. However, the second implies we should become a fake version of ourselves almost as if we should try to keep up with others just to reach some often unattainable pinnacle where we will miraculously become happy. That is not a great idea as we cannot sustain the fake for too long. So I agree with you that talking to the inner us and subverting the negative thoughts simply by telling ourselves out loud the opposite really helps us to focus on banishing negative self beliefs. Often just to see things from a different or positive perspective really helps our confidence levels.
it's truly fascinating how 'coincidental right on time' this video came into my subscription list hehe- I'm literally in that frightening stuck-and-lost start of a new phase where all the old habits, living space, people, relationships and my eduation have fallen trough and it's up to me to be (finally) making the right decisions on how to move forward and become a mentally stronger and better version of myself... thanks for this conversation, for all your calm, easy to follow and open videos, these mean a lot to me, always will! 💗
Thank you Mr Banks. I’m a bit discouraged about my health problems but I’m going to be more positive. I definitely need to declutter the ton of stuff I don’t need.
Such a great topic! Mine is more of a comparison, of not keeping up. I'm learning that this voice keeps comparing me to my perception...which, by design, CANNOT be met since perception isn't really based totally on fact. Like, I am continually chasing an ideal that will always be out of reach because my perception is totally under my own control. Just a side note: In trying to write a thoughtful comment to such an insightful discussion, I just came to this realization. ❤😀
Hey Ron, I love your content and honestly, it's been helping me through a lot that am going through personally. I've heard you speak about burn out before and I do feel that at times, we are burnt out but we need to "carry on" due to real life issues. Such as being burnt out emotionally or at work, we still need to bring it everyday even though we don't feel like it. Honestly I do feel quite lost in terms of how to cope at times, whether its finding the energy to keep going on because I have to or just trying to see some good in a particularly tough and long season. This is especially so when people on the outside might be seeing you as progressing or doing well, but on the inside you know its a really tough journey. Would love to hear your thoughts on how to deal with an extended season of burn out and what strategies we can use to turn it into something fruitful. Thanks!
Exactly how I feel right now. The me now is souch better than I was. Now I lay in bed wondering what next? Will I hit my financial goals? Am I being a true minimalist? Am I hitting my true potential? Any books you can recommend? Keep up the great wprk
@@RonaldLBanks I’m managing UA-cam video work flow. just I think a lot of good information about how the workflow is set up is very helpful. I’m still getting a hang of it but it has been nice 👍🏽As well as how you create videos during a busy schedule with preparing for a babe etc. would be very helpful.
What is normal? That’s my question. We’re all unique in our own way that’s why I leave the same reminder at the end of every video I post: “stay true to you”

My inner voice tells me I am doing too much & I need to create boundaries

So wise for 29! Bet you have a great Mom.

I happy you found this helpful Luis! Have questions don’t hesitate to ask!
absolutely need this, not just today but most days; thank you

Great video Ronald! I’m going to use the 5 tips as journaling material. I feel I need to write it out. Thank you! ☀️
I love listening to you, such wisdom and clarity.
Thank you.
Thank you...
I’m happy you enjoyed this Grace!
you're literally so wise and although you're only a year younger you have so much knowledge I just assumed you were older but thank you for sharing 😄

Omg I LOVE your messages! Bless you!
Fantastic video and message Ronald! The timing of this is exactly what I needed! Now, time to have a conversation with my inner critic.
This!! Right on time.
Thanks Ron. Another great video. You always give us a lot to think about. ❤
Thank you so much, Mr. Banks! ♡
So happy I found your channel! Thank you!
Thank you Mr Banks. I’m a bit discouraged about my health problems but I’m going to be more positive. I definitely need to declutter the ton of stuff I don’t need.
Mine tells me that I’m not get enough, and that they will cheat on me eventually. Holy shit did I need to hear this today.

We need to stop listening to ourselves and start talking to ourselves
Absolutely!! Conversations with ourselves are important!

Wow. You are just amazing.
Definitely stuck !

Any books you can recommend?
Keep up the great wprk
I'm only at 1:23 and I already know this is going to help me
Are you going to make more videos on notion , that was a life changer
I can! What type of task are you trying to manage in Notion. I have different dashboards that I keep handy and use almost every day!
