How to Fire Your Inner Critic and Reclaim the Driver’s Seat
Who is actually running your life right now? Is it you, or is it that persistent voice telling you that you are not good enough? In my world, we call this the inner critic or the “evil inner witch.”
This is the voice of fear, worry, doubt, and insecurity. It is often the loudest voice in the room. This critic is an old program installed by society, conditioning, or how you were raised. While it might think it is protecting you, it is actually keeping you small.
When the critic is in charge:
* We overwork: We push ourselves to prove our worth to others.
* We fear conflict: We say yes when we want to say no because we need external validation.
* We chase metrics: We follow external markers of success but feel empty on the inside.
The Three A’s: Reclaiming Your Power
To win the mind so you can win the world, you must move into the “win” phase of the GROW model: Get insight, Recognize, Overcome, and Win. This transition happens through the Three A’s:
* Awareness: You must catch the thought. When anxiety hits, stop and acknowledge it. Be the observer of the thought, not the thought itself.
* Acceptance: This is radical. Do not fight the thought or shame yourself for having it. Acknowledging that it makes sense to feel this way because you are human actually disarms the critic.
* Action: You must validate your own worth. Do not wait for a boss, partner, or child to tell you that you did a good job: tell yourself and internalize your wins.
Mindset work is a practice. Just as you would not go to the gym once and expect a brand new body, you cannot do this work once and expect a new life.
