We all have this voice that tells us we are bad, stupid, clumsy, cowardly... this is our inner critic. Although its intent is to help us succeed, the harsh self talk of our critic just serves to drain our energy and lower our morale and immune system. To defuse the inner critic, we need to recognize when the critic is speaking. We need to know that this voice does not speak for who we really are. This is an old pattern that may no longer be serving us so we want to be open to the possibility that the words are not likely true. We must ask ourselves, Are these words helpful? and adjust accordingly.
