How to Silence Your Inner Critic

Raise your hand if you have a critical voice in your head.

 

(My hand is raised.)

 

 

Meet Emma (to the left). She’s my inner critic.

 

She used to run my life.

 

As a well-educated woman, you might wonder how I could let this happen. I mean, I ran a household. I ran a company at one time. I have a Masters degree.

 

But none of that mattered. Because Emma worked behind the scenes. So much so, that I didn’t even know who she was. Or that she was there.

 

I didn’t realize that she wasn’t me. She was just a voice inside my head. And I didn’t have to believe her. Or allow her to keep me small.

 

I didn’t realize that I was allowing her to keep me from the awesome, full, peaceful life I deserve.

We all deserve awesome, full, peaceful lives, don’t you agree?

 

But what if we find that we’re not at that place right now?

 

Is there anything we can do?

 

A significant positive step in this direction is learning about your inner critic. Learning tricks to identify it and make it your ally, instead of your enemy.

1. What does your inner critic say to you?
