How well do you know your INNER CRITIC? Our Inner Critic ("IC") is negative self talk we sometimes succomb to when in doubt of ourselves. The Inner Critisc are the keepers of the status quo. They love to keep you locked in your comfort zone and they are experts at blocking you from reaching (and sometimes even seeing) your greatest potential.
I have known people who worked really hard with on uncovering and naming their worst Inner Critic. The secret is that once you can give them a name, maybe even a face, you can begin to realize that they don't have to be part of the Best You! Say, for instance, you have a IC named "I'm just not good enough to . . ." What does he/she look like? Sound like? The more you can get to know your Inner Critics, and realize they don't have to be part of you, the more you can separate them from yourself, and then make better conscious decisions.
Your challenge first is to begin to listen for what your IC's are saying to you that holds you back. Simply begin by just noticing, not arguing or struggling with them. Once you can begin to notice them, then you can start to make sense of your fears and the choices that have blocked you from achieving your true success!
