There may be a number of voices in your head. They perform different roles and usually have developed long before now. Some may criticize, delude, compensate, avoid, or seek conformity, excitement, or pleasure.
You can learn which voices are fabrications that serve some purpose, usually to protect you or avoid pain, fear, or shame based on a perception you had when you were younger. That is a useful way to uncover a more authentic you and can be very helpful on your journey.
There is a voice though that is like your inner compass for a better life. This voice can lead you to the life that you feel very comfortable with, you are happy with, you are proud of. You can regard it as your inner encourager.
This is the part of you that holds your hopes and dreams and never gives up on you. It's the part of you that always believes in you. You may have lost track of it. You may suppress it. You may ignore or not believe it. It is actually you, loving yourself as your true nature, your natural born self. It is universal in nature, specifically expressing you. When you align with it, it can lead you to a more authentic you, a more successful you, a more loving you.
Sometimes this voice will lead you into actions that aren't comfortable in the short run. But the only way to become a new you is to let go of an old you. There is encouragement, care, and wisdom inside you that will lead and guide you if you trust and let it. There are a number of methods, techniques, and paths that may help you uncover this voice. Listen for hints of which are best for you.

About the Author
In my life, there are two main themes that are parallel and intertwined. In broad strokes, they could be described as spiritual and material. In my early twenties, I had a profound spiritual experience that changed my life forever. During the time of this transformation, I went to India, spent time with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and became an instructor of transcendental meditation.
When I returned to the states I initiated hundreds of people into meditation and began a lifelong journey to fulfill myself spiritually.
After completing graduate work in counseling psychology, I became the head counselor in a program for teenagers and young adults. Later, when I married, and had my first child, I started a career in business. I created and ran companies at both the retail and wholesale levels, with and without partners. I also served as a national marketing director for a manufacturing company.
Twice, I built companies to among the largest in the nation in their niche. Following that, I have worked as a small business advisor specializing in marketing and exit planning.
All during that time, I practiced meditation daily, led groups and taught individuals various spiritual practices. I also studied, practiced, and taught various “release” techniques. In the mid 90s, I graduated from CoachU to add those practical skills.
