Your Inner Critic: Why is it Always Winning?

Why is my inner critic so strong? The inner critic tells you all the reasons you are not good enough. It is formed from painful early life experiences when we might have witnessed or experienced hurtful attitudes toward ourselves or those close to us. We unconsciously adopt and integrate this pattern of thought toward ourselves and others as we age. What is the purpose of your inner critic? A person's inner critic can play a significant role in shaping one's identity and sense of self. This inner critic can be like a nagging voice that questions each decision and undermines each accomplishment, and it can leave a person with difficult feelings such as shame, inadequacy, or guilt. Listen to your negative thoughts. This may seem counter-intuitive, but you can only silence your inner critic when you're actually aware of it. ...Get productive. ...Re-think how you see other people. ...Ask yourself this question. ...Remind yourself of how awesome you are. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wayne-weathersby/support Subscribe today and join a community that’s growing stronger every week.
