Deep dives
Recognizing and identifying the inner critic
To work with the inner critic, self-awareness is key. Start by identifying when the inner critic shows up and developing awareness of its presence.
Separating from the inner critic
Create separation between yourself and the inner critic. Name the inner critic, have a conversation with it, and acknowledge its presence while asserting your agency.
Building a relationship with the inner critic
Develop a relationship with the inner critic by getting to know it. Play with the critic, explore its nature and function, and engage in a dialogue to understand its fears and concerns.
Reality testing and reframing
Reality test the inner critic's criticisms by examining evidence and challenging irrational thoughts. Reframe negative self-talk and adopt more empowering beliefs and narratives.
Shifting to self-appreciation and self-love
Shift from self-criticism to self-appreciation by intentionally practicing self-love and appreciation. Consider adopting a practice of self-appreciation to counterbalance the inner critic's negativity.
We live in an epidemic of inner sabotage via inner criticism. Today, we discuss everything inner critic: What do we mean when we say inner critic? Where do our inner critics come from? How do they serve us and what do they cost us? How can we lay down our arms and end the war?
Join executive leadership & career coach Rikki Goldenberg, conscious leadership & executive coach Justin Mulvaney, and licensed clinical psychologist turned creator coach Corey Wilks as we discuss all that and more.
