Hello and welcome back to the Inner Self Podcast! In this episode, we talk about the concept of your Inner Critic and why you should consider it like a friend. Everybody has an inner critic. There’s not a single person on Earth who doesn’t experience at least the occasional bit of self-doubt, worry about saying something stupid, or some other bit of overly critical self-talk. This is essential to come to terms with because you must give up on the idea that the goal is to silence or eliminate your inner critic. Not only is this impossible, but it will keep you locked in the cycle of treating your inner critic like an enemy, making it stronger and more critical over time. The question isn’t how do I get rid of my inner critic… It’s how do I learn to live with it healthily? All you have control over is how you react to your inner critic when it shows up. Listen now and learn more about your inner critic afterward.
