How to Reframe Self Critical Thoughts and Boost Self-Esteem : (Fire your Inner Critic)

Self-critical thoughts can be overwhelming.  They can consume your day and make it  difficult to focus on anything else.  These types of negative thoughts can  harm you in multiple ways.  Self-criticism can be an ongoing dialogue  inside your head. Most of the thoughts  focus on flaws, whether actual or  perceived. Sometimes the thoughts start  after a critical comment from another  person.  In rare cases, self-criticism can be useful. It  may increase humbleness and provide a  way to evaluate mistakes. However, most of the time, self-criticism  creates unnecessary pain and suffering.  Self-critical thoughts can increase the risk  of depression, anxiety, stress, and other  mental health issues. They also weaken  your self-esteem and confidence.  Luckily, you can learn to reframe these  negative thoughts in your head and  overcome them.  “It's easy to become very self-critical when  you're an actor. Then you get critiqued by  the critics. Whether you agree with them or  not, people are passing judgment on you.” - Keanu Reeves Most self-criticism can be separated into  two categories: comparative and  internalized criticism. Comparative criticism  is when you compare yourself to others. On  the other hand, internalized criticism is  when you feel like you can’t live up to your  own standards.  Both comparative and internalized self-criticism can be dangerous. #innercritic #selfesteem #mindset #howto #depression #businesstips #howtogetrich #productiveNotbusy #podcast #spotify #iheartradio #applepodcast #wayneweathersby #nfl #nba #mlb # --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wayne-weathersby/support Subscribe today and join a community that’s growing stronger every week.
