How Are Your Silent Conversations Destroying You?
“I look ridiculous!”…“I’m so stupid!” …”I hate myself!” …“Stop being weak!”
Hello Beautiful,
Are you hearing a mean voice within say horrible words like these?
How many times have you felt embarrassed, insecure, and left in a state of ugliness as a result of this harsh inner voice?
What you’re experiencing, is common to all of humanity – and it’s known as the voice of the Inner Critic.
I have this voice, ultra successful people have this voice, and everyone around the globe have this voice.
Having an ego means that it’s inevitable that we have a critical voice inside that tries to keep us stagnant by lies.
But for many of us, myself included, this voice can become so loud, so convincing, and so overpowering that it becomes like an inner beast, which saps our confidence and life force energy.
You do Not have to put up with this!
If you struggle with the Inner Critic who makes it hard to practice self-confidence, why not start with self-compassion?
I’ll remind you of how much you love yourself in this article.
Let’s get into it.
