726 | The Biggest Critic You Have

Own Your Choices Own Your Life

In this episode, I wanted to share some thoughts on who your biggest critic is and how you can learn to shift this perspective. “Your harshest critic is always going to be yourself. Don’t ignore that critic, but don’t give it more attention than what it deserves.” ~ Michael Ian Black.

Self-criticism is normal and even healthy in small doses. The dose or amount of self-criticism you use on yourself is what makes it a poison. When you always approach your work with negativity, it's paralyzing. In this episode, we discuss:

1) How do you handle the criticism? Remember this you will never be criticized by someone who is doing more than you, check the source, see the mirror, and ask yourself subconsciously if those words have a trigger for you, and how you can reframe that differently.

2) Picture that you are working on building your beliefs in yourself, yet every time you criticize yourself, you are breaking down the strides or effort in building your beliefs and you are giving your inner critic more power. OUTSPOKEN https://www.marshavanw.com/outspoken2023
