What to do when your internal critic starts really acting up!

6/16/2021

0 Comments

 
Sometimes when we are in a place of growth or expansion or moving in a new direction, our internal voices can get really mean.

They say nasty things like "you always have great ideas and then don't follow through, you are going to fail again, don't even try it."

When this happens- do not try to shove this voice away- instead invite it to a cup of tea.

What I mean by this is in the video- but what I do not mean is take on all the mean things- certainly do not do that.

That voice has something you need to hear and the way to do it is with compassion for all the fear that voice represents.

Can I interview you? It would be so helpful for me to hear what is going on for you so I can understand how to be of better service to artists and creatives and I would be happy to offer a coaching session in exchange.
