✨GIVE YOUR INNER CRITIC A NAME✨ TiPS for shutting up your inner critic: ✨Write down or type critical thoughts at the start of every day. Externalising them will give them less weight on you ✨ Our inner critic is internalised from parents, peers and authority figures from childhood. It usually links to experiences where we felt shamed. Who’s voice is it? What memory does it link to? ✨ Argue back with compassion. What is the most compassionate thing that you can say in response to your inner critic? ✨ If your inner critic thoughts are in response to a task that you’re afraid of failing at, find a way to make it fun and playful. This will reduce the pressure and shame. ✨ Give your inner critic a name.
