Befriending our inner critic (instead of destroying it)

Do you have an inner critic? Your answer is most likely yes! I can also assume you've been wanting to get rid of it many times before. In today's episode, I'm inviting you to better understand this protective part of you and learn how to befriend it (instead of destroying it). This is an invitation to befriend this part of you: Observe— Get some perspective and distance from this part of you. See how you can observe them, without judging it. Be curious about where you can feel them in your body or what they may look like.  Befriend— Open a dialogue with this part of you. Welcome their presence with compassion, and listen to what they have to share. Get curious about their fears, and the ways they decided to protect you from them. Collaborate— See if you can start to write a new job description for them. Can they become your inner coach instead? Can they protect your growth instead of sheltering you from perceived danger?  I would love for you to keep 3 important things in mind when you feel the inner critic popping up: There’s no need to judge or fight this part of you. It’s there for a reason. You have the power to slowly shift the way it’s protecting you. Get curious about this question: Am I moving away from what I don’t want, or towards what I want? ⁠Support the podcast: buy me a coffee ⁠☕🙏🏼 About me Hello, I'm Pascale!
