Dear
We all have those critical voices in the head and it's not because we're mad. Most of them talk to us in harsh, unkind ways. The result is usually that we feel awful, and we don't do the thing we wanted to do.... because we believe that critical voice. It sounds so darn convincing when it talks!
In 2020 I hosted a workshop on this topic and 10 people were brave enough to sit with the discomfort. It was a really heartwarming experience. Participants understood intellectually what that part (the Inner Critic) is really trying to do for them, and used EFT tapping to calm the emotional parts of them that feel downtrodden when it speaks. And they learned new, healthier ways to
work with that voice.
Today I share
- An article about the Inner Critic
- A tiny homestudy course coming up
- A place where you can vote on its title (with some hilarious and helpful comments)
- An idea I've had for a long time - and it's time to let the cat out of the bag!
The Inner Critic is a part of us that can sound like a voice in the head – and it can say pretty mean things to us.
It can sound like an outside voice that says things like:
- You’re stupid
- Why did you do THAT?
- Who’s going to listen to you?
- You don’t have what it takes to pull this off
- Your decision was wrong
It can also sound like it’s coming from inside ourselves, in our voice, like this:
- I’m lazy
- I’m bad
- I’m stupid and I can’t do anything right
- I’m defective and everyone can see it
- I do everything wrong
Truth is – if we happened to look around in that moment, we wouldn’t see another soul anywhere. It’s ‘just’ a voice in our head…. Yet it feels so real and can make us feel cringy, low, unmotivated, ashamed, and small.
I'm creating my first 'tiny course'!
What's a tiny course? It's a home-study course that's easy and digestible, with max an hour of content, so you can take action on it, and make steps to progress very quickly. It'll be great for you if live classes are not your thing, or are at times that don't work for you.
And the first of many tiny courses will help you to understand your Inner Critic, calm it, maybe become friends with it.
Our 'parts' are here to stay, and deleting/banishing/conquering them just doesn't work.

An HSP friend and colleague, Dani Gardner, has created a course to teach you to create your own tiny course! If you're interested, take a look here.
How to Shine in your Business as a Sensitive Introvert

May you be blessed with loving, caring and supportive people around you. And may you be that someone for another person who needs that.
