Ep. 75 How to Deal With the Inner Critic
In this episode I share how my work on self-compassion has led me directly to confront my inner critic - that awful voice that constantly critiques everything I do. Since all of us have that voice in our head we can all benefit from learning how to recognize and soften the inner critic. This episode includes:
- How to recognize the messages being sent by your inner critic.
- Understanding that fear is the basis for this inner negative dialogue.
- How to have compassion for the critical voice rather than anger or judgment.
- How to use a compassionate gesture to help activate your own soothing calmness.
- Overriding the critic with positive messages.
