How to shut up your inner critic


Listen Later

Do you ever feel like you are in the car riding through life and you are not sitting in the driver seat?Many of us experienced this feeling in one way or another when we felt that others had more to say about who we are, what we should do or who we should be. 
 
And then it comes from others it’s easier to shut it off or create boundaries than it is when who is bringing you down is your own inner critic. 
 
What happens is that we are trying to ignore it and are hoping that it will disappear. 
 
Yet, like when you imagine a little kid in a grocery store, screaming loudly about what it wants when parents are not paying attention, the same way your inner critic will become louder and louder when you are trying to ignore it. 
 
The way to overcome it is to listen. Write down all the things that your inner critic says to you. 
 
You are not good enough. Who do you think you are?Why would someone want to be with you?Look at yourself and get your stuff together.
 
You are such a loser. 
 
Now…..these might not be comfortable, yet it is so freeing to write it on paper. Paper can take it all. 
 
Once you do write it all down, ask yourself. Is this really true? 
 
Most of the time the answer will be no. 
 
THAT is your chance to choose again.
What do you know to be true about you?
 
I am loving, I am compassionate, I am resourceful, I am supportive, I am generous, I am open to accept myself….
 
Write these new truths for you and anytime your inner critic comes up say:Thank you for letting me know and what I am choosing now is to be…….
 
Let me know what is the one thing that your inner critic says and let’s rewrite it together, shall we? 
 
Ps. I know these times might bring up uncertainty and fear, yet we can change that together when we share our light and gifts with others.
