Inner Critic Quotes

“We all carry a constant companion: the voice in our head that narrates our days. ... The tone we take with ourselves shapes our mental landscape far more than we realise. ... Many of us would never say to a friend, “You’re so stupid, you always fail,” but we might say it to ourselves. ... What if, instead, we spoke to ourselves the way we would speak to someone we love? Encouraging, honest, and forgiving”

“We established most of our self-beliefs during our childhood, but they were based on our limited understanding of the world around us. They are either flawed or have become outdated. We can’t take these beliefs at face value anymore.”

“Inside Critics The critical voices in our own heads are far more vicious than what we might hear from the outside. Our "inside critics" have intimate knowledge of us and can zero in on our weakest spots. You might be told by the critics that you're too fat, too old, too young, not intelligent enough, a quitter, not logical, prone to try too many things... It's all balderdash! Some elements of these may be true, and it's completely up to you how they affect you. Inside critics are really just trying to protect you. You can: Learn to dialogue with them. Give them new jobs. Turn them into allies. You can also dismantle/exterminate them.”
