Silence the Inner Critic

We all know this voice in our head that constantly criticizes, belittles, and judges us.

Its relentless destructive chatter is also described as negative self-talk.

Our inner critic can be a cruel and deeply damaging force.

Try these techniques and let me know what happened

1. Keep a self-praise journal.

2. Repeat a negative thought back in a silly voice.

3. Give your inner critic a silly feature that makes you laugh. Stick it on your fridge.

4. Imagine it as an evil gremlin squatting on your shoulder. Each time it speaks up, turn, and flick it away.

5. End each negative thought with a positive.

6. Find one thing each day to reward yourself for.

7. Apologize to yourself.-Do this every time you recognize self-criticism (tell yourself you’re sorry out loud if you can).
