Ep 188: What You'd Never Say to a Friend


Listen Later

Have you had a moment like this recently? You’re doing the work, making progress, and feeling proud of yourself, then your brain swoops in to criticize you for not doing it sooner or for how far you still have to go.

This is common for everyone. But here’s what I want you to consider: if your best friend told you she’s been doing well and taking care of herself, would you respond with, “It’s too bad you didn’t do this sooner”? Of course not. You would never say that to someone you love, but we say it to ourselves all the time without even blinking.

Today, I talk about that critical inner voice and what we can do about it. You don’t need a perfectly articulated internal dialogue. You just have to show up for yourself the way you would show up for someone you love.
