SYO104 Flashback - How To Silence Your Inner Critic

Published: Nov. 26, 2021, 8 p.m.

Hi! Welcome to this flashback series, featuring some of my favourite episodes from the archives discussing key ideas and teachings that take us to the heart of who we are, reveal what makes us tick, and lead us to greater freedom and well-being. Sit back, relax and enjoy!

So tell me, have you got voices in your head? Maybe there\u2019s someone in there telling you you\u2019re not good enough, you\u2019ll never be able to do that, your butt looks huge in that, who do you think you are to be... blah blah blah!

Sound familiar? We\u2019ve all got this voice in our head, unless we\u2019ve done a lot of work to silence it.

Sometimes we\u2019re aware of what the inner critic is saying, because we hear it all the time. And sometimes, even more insidiously, we have programming going on that is unconscious.\xa0

We may not be aware of a specific message, but this subconscious conditioning can erode our self-esteem and hinder us from going for the things we want, or succeeding, or even being happy.

Either way, conscious or unconscious, we need to become aware of the self-talk that is going on, or it will sabotage us for the rest of our days!

So today we\u2019re looking at how we can free ourselves of this inner critic and get some relief!

In this episode:

  • Where your inner critic came from.
  • How hangups and blockages are created.
  • Two practices that reveal the contents of your mind to you.
  • How to replace negative self-talk with positive talk that serves us.
