How to Break Free From Your Inner Critic
One of the biggest battles I’ve had in my life and for many other men is the battle we have in our heads, with our inner critic.
I believe our self-talk, the way we talk to ourselves is everything.
It will determine the most important relationship we have in our lives, the relationship with ourselves.
The relationship with ourselves, will determine how we interact with the world and how the world interacts with us.
If our inner critic constantly berates us, we will choose to resist life and constrict away from it.
If our inner critic supports us or no longer controls us, we can choose to expand and move towards the endless opportunities of life.
One of the key ways to break free from it is to learn of it’s origin, why it’s there in the first place and what is it trying to do for us, because it’s there for a reason.
A reason is protection.
It’s there to protect us from potential threat and danger.
If we remain unconscious to our inner chatter, it will talk us out of many opportunities that our ego deems as dangerous, threatening or painful. Hence protecting us.
However, some of these potential ‘threats’, are not really dangerous at all, and are in fact the very places we need to move towards in order for us to grow and go after the things we want in life.
Which is one of the many reasons why we remain stuck and stagnant, continually experiencing the same results.
In the next episode of the Heart-led Man Podcast, I discuss the main reasons why we have an inner critic and the several ways we can break free from the power it has over us, so we can regain control and autonomy over our decisions and actions.
