How to Starve Your Inner Critic and Thrive
Manage episode 477339950 series 3324822
Mental health and anxiety therapists, The English Sisters, provide effective strategies for silencing the negative inner voice that tells us we're not good enough or capable enough to achieve our goals. We share practical techniques to transform your relationship with your inner critic and regain control over your thoughts and emotions.
• Give your inner critic a silly name different from your own to create healthy disassociation
• Change your critic's voice to a cartoon character like Donald Duck to make it less threatening
• Write down critical thoughts and transform them into positive affirmations
• Remember there is no failure, only feedback – every mistake provides valuable learning
• Befriend your inner critic over time rather than fighting it
• You're better off alone than in bad company when relationships no longer serve you
• Find yourself before worrying about finding someone else
Come watch us on YouTube where we have the full video podcast of this episode, and come say hi on Instagram. Love and smiles from the English Sisters.
