EP 49 - Moving Beyond Habitual Criticism as an Intuitive Founder

This episode picks up where I left off last week.In the previous episode, I explored what habitual criticism is, why many intuitive founders develop it, and how it can impact us negatively.In this episode, I move from awareness to practice.I share a simple 3-step practice for shifting habitual criticism without giving up your critical thinking skills. Drawing from my own experiences and the thought work framework I teach, I explore how to relate to criticism with more compassion and intention so that it becomes a tool you use on purpose rather than a habit that runs on autopilot.You'll hear:Why moving beyond habitual criticism is not about suppressing your opinions or lowering your standards.How self-compassion can help you change deeply ingrained patterns more effectively than shame.Why the urge to criticize is often connected to difficult emotions that we are trying to avoid feeling.How pausing to feel discomfort can weaken criticism's grip on your attention over time.Questions to help you uncover the motivation behind your criticism and decide whether acting on it is truly serving you.How asking for consent before offering feedback can create healthier relationships and more intentional communication.Visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WWW.Roxanaakhbari.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to access my other free coaching resources or to book a free consultation call to explore how we can work together.If you find value in what you hear, the best way to support this podcast is to follow the show wherever you listen, leave a review, and share it with others.
