🧘🏾‍♀️ #selfcaresunday reminder! Does it feel like when you’re feeling the most anxious and stressed out, you’re your own worst enemy? Do these thoughts keep you stuck and unable to make moves with your goals?
.
Well It’s time to stop trusting your inner critic! 👏🏾👏🏾 The one that gives you allll the reasons to quit and stop trying. It’s hard to stop the thoughts from flowing in, but you don’t have to follow their lead.
.
The less power you give your negative thoughts, the more you follow your own intuition and create the life you actually want. Try to remember... there will be days when you’re better at battling your inner critic and other days not so much. Stay patient with your progress. It’s a journey✨

Today, I met one of my personal goals and was immediately excited AF to get going. Then 0.34 seconds later there was my inner critic chiming in loud and clear:
.
🚩”It’s too soon.”
🚩“You aren’t ready or prepared enough.”
🚩“You have too much to learn before you do this.”
.
These are the thoughts I fight every day and have kept me from starting and finishing the projects I care about. Call it negative self talk, your inner critic, anxiety, etc but honestly….they are all just fancy self help terms for one thing: FEAR.
.
Of course fear exists to protect you from unfamiliar territory. But when it’s keeping you from living the life you want and trying new things, it’s no longer helpful.
.
So I’m learning to do the opposite of what she says. Learning that I can’t always trust my inner critic to give me the best advice and usually has to be talked off the ledge every now and then 🤦🏾‍♀️ . I mean, we all have that one friend that always a drama queen, right? 🤣
.
So next time you hear her pop up, smile and say, “Hey, I get it. It’s new and scary. But we’re gonna do it anyway”.
.
Lesson today: Do what scares you!
