The article discusses the inner critic, a voice that often undermines confidence and promotes fear. It emphasizes that this voice is not the same as intuition, which is supportive and calm. Instead, the inner critic thrives on fear and perfectionism, attempting to keep individuals from growth. The main strategies to cope involve naming the inner critic, gathering evidence against its negative beliefs, and recognizing it as a voice separate from one's empowered self—therefore reducing its power over personal decisions and growth.
Your inner critic is driven by fear, not truth-it's not the same as your intuition.
The goal isn't to silence your inner critic forever. The goal is to stop believing it.
When you name it, you separate from it. You realize it's a voice, not your voice.
The inner critic deals in extremes and assumptions. Challenge it by asking: Is this really true?
