This inner critic work is perennial. Maybe even like weed-wacking kudzu. I know this stuff inside & out, and yet, here I am again having to sedate my crazy inner roommate, Loretta, with chocolate so she'll take a break. Thanks for helping me strengthen my inner friend. I'm going to give her chocolate, too. With love. 💖🍫
I am evolving the relationship with my inner critic by staying present vs turning away and giving her a seat at the table with clear boundaries about meanness and demands. It’s a slow process but it beats just doing the same old same old until i die. it is a daily practice and have curated resources and mentors that support me. Every day is different and that is part of the process for me: recognizing and allowing whoever is here today as ok. Nothing is wrong. Thanks for this!

Loretta! Great name 👍 and chocolate certainly helps quiet that voice. The weed-wacking metaphor is spot on 🙌
This is spot on!
