The Inner Judge: Your Toughest Critic and How To Shut It Down Before It Shuts You Down


Listen Later

On this week’s episode, Jamie and Guy revisit the theory of Positive Intelligence and inner critics or "Saboteurs" to talk about the greatest Saboteur of them all - the Judge.  Saboteurs are the voices in our head that generate negative emotions to the way we handle life’s challenges. They sabotage both our happiness and performance.  There are a total of ten types of Saboteurs including the Pleaser, the Controller, the Avoider, etc.  The prevalence and types of Saboteurs we struggle with can vary from person to person, but the #1 Saboteur for everyone is the Judge.

The Judge is everyone's greatest internal enemy. It activates our other top Saboteurs, causes much of our stress and unhappiness, and reduces our effectiveness. Jamie and Guy discuss how it shows up in all of our lives - judging ourselves, judging others, and judging our circumstances  - and share examples of times the Judge has interfered in their lives. They explain why it is the strongest saboteur,  how we can learn to faster recognize when it shows up in our thinking and what we can do to shut it down 🙌🏼
