Listen Later

Are you being too harsh on yourself? Maybe you received or heard hurtful comments from your parents, friends, and in your environment and started directing them to yourself. It's time to STOP! Don't let your self-criticism take over the real YOU.

In this episode, I dive deep into the roots of self-criticism, how it becomes toxic in our life, and share the three simple ways I use (and you can, too!) to protect and break free from those negative self-talk and have inner peace. If you are ready to stop criticizing yourself for good, listen to this episode.

Highlights of this episode:

  • The negative voice that attacks you inside
  • Self-criticism is built from the comments you received as a child
  • Self-criticism can also come from internalizing your social context
  • The best thing you can do to distance yourself from it; and
  • Learn to build and train your self-love muscle
