How to recognise the inner critic - It turns out we can recognize this voice as the inner critic…by picking up on a few clues >
• It is making a definite pronouncement, with very little evidence to back it up. It's interested in "the way things are." (This is always a red flag!)
• It's undertaking a premature evaluation of the question "Is it possible, or not?" rather than wondering, "What could be possible?" or, even better, "How can I make this possible?"
• It's stuck, repetitive. No real action is inspired by it.
• The energy behind the mental chatter is one of self-critique rather than self-care.
• The intention is shutting down forward movement, rather than opening up problem solving. There's no searching for solutions or good ideas.
