Quiet Your Inner Critic

How to quiet your inner critic:

When talking about self-esteem frequently we talk about our inner critic. The critic is the voice inside our head that constantly gives us feedback about our performance. Those with lower self-esteem listen to a particularly harsh inner critic, one whose voice is loud, clear, and persistent.

The critic is so much a part of us that we hardly notice that it's debilitating. Slowly but surely, it tricks us and makes us believe that we are not worthy. So how do we quiet our inner critic?

1. Be conscious of your inner critic. Take note of the number of times during the day your inner voice demeans you.

2. Engage in a dialogue with your inner critic. When it puts you down, ask

*Where is this voice coming from?

*Is it a true fact? *What happens when I believe that thought?

*Does it get me what I want?

3. Replace your inner critic with your inner coach, one who will guide and advise you rather than shame and blame you. Give life to this new inner voice by naming it

4. If all else fails, practice replacing the negative with a positive

"I am a survivor."

" I have the capacity to love."

" I am a good person."

" I am doing the best I can."

Take care of how you speak to yourself; you are listening.

Wasting Time With Micro Timewasters

I t's funny how we notice when we waste time on a large scale. We notice that we spend an hour on social media or watch TV for three hours. However, these aren’t the only ways we waste time. We waste time in dozens of ways each day. Many of these time wasters aren’t always obvious, but the time can really add up over the course of a day, a week, or a decade. Your time is your most valuable commodity. Think about it, you can always make more money, but you can never make more time. We all have the same 24 hours a day.
