The Inner Critic and Overcoming Resistance

In this podcast episode, Marie Forleo discusses the inner critic and ways to overcome its negative influence. Marie emphasizes that trying to silence or ignore the inner critic is not effective. Instead, she suggests recognizing it as an alarm signaling disengagement from the present moment. Marie shares a helpful analogy from her partner, Josh, who teaches about 'committed impulse,' warning that if we listen to the mind for too long, it will eventually tell us that we suck. The key is to separate ourselves from the mind and redirect our attention and energy into engaging in real-life activities, such as going for a walk or listening to music, rather than indulging in negative thoughts about ourselves. Marie also mentions Eckhart Tolle's teachings on the mind and recommends changing the radio station from 'WKRAP FM' (crap radio on repeat) to refocus on our wisdom and embodied experiences.
