28 Jul Susan’s Sound Advice #620
Our inner critic is a master of manipulation. He/She will use different “voices” as a disguise for different situations with the purpose of planting seeds of doubt in our mind. Sometimes the voice will be your parent, an ex-lover, teachers, grandparents, and so on, and here’s some of the things he/she will say: “You are ugly”, “you are fat”, “you are a lazy slob”, “you have no talent”. But, what if we realized that we can challenge that inner critic’s “voice of doom” with our “voice of reason”? I picture mine looking like Princess Merida from Brave, a warrior with curly flaming red hair with a bow and arrow ready to shoot. I now know that I am much more powerful and now I imagine that inner critic as a scared rabbit running away in fear. These “battles” aren’t always easy, and sometimes it feels like a full blown war, but I know that my voice of reason is gaining ground all the time and eventually will win. My inner critic is never going to take control of me again! So, what does your “voice of reason” look like? #dailyinspiration #susankorwin #author #lifecoach #simplestridestowardpositi vechange
