She provides actionable techniques to change your relationship with this inner critic, including naming and externalising it, changing its voice, thanking and redirecting it, and asking critical questions to assess its validity. Through practical examples from pickleball and everyday life, Charlotte illustrates how mastering this inner critic can lead to significant personal growth and a more fulfilling life. Whether you're on the court or facing new challenges, this episode offers invaluable strategies for turning down the volume on self-doubt and making room for growth and new experiences.00:00 Introduction: Understanding the Inner Critic00:32 Welcome to Pickleball and Partnership01:51 The Inner Critic Explained03:37 Inner Critic on the Pickleball Court06:22 Negativity Bias and Evolution10:42 Recognizing the Inner Critic's Voice16:44 Techniques to Disarm the Inner Critic26:11 Summary and Key Takeaways28:45 Conclusion and Next StepsPickleball & Partnership Facebook PagePlease jump on over and say "Hi" - I would love to hear from you...email: [email protected] https://www.facebook.com/conejukeshttps://www.facebook.com/groups/848118700833703https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pickleball-partnership/id1775742795Get your FREE Top 10 Tips for Playing Pickleball with Your Partner subscribepage.io/Top-10-Tips-Partner-PickleballMusic: Purple Planet MusicThanks to Purple Planet Music for Pickleball & Partnership Intro and Outro music Purple Planet Music is a collection of music written and performed by Chris Martyn and Geoff Harvey.
