1
00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: Let's be honest. Life is stressful, its work, its relationships,

2
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,239
Speaker 1: and the state of the world. But there's a way

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,799
Speaker 1: to bring that stress level down. Calm. It's the number

4
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: one app for mental wellness with tons of content to

5
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:20,760
Speaker 1: manage anxiety, promote concentration, and help you unwind. There's music, meditation,

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: and more. Calm makes it easy to de stress. You

7
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: can literally do a one minute breathing exercise. Personally, I

8
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: love the soundscapes. Nothing like a little rain on leaves

9
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 1: to help soothe my nervous system. I've actually been working

10
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: with Calm for a couple of years now, and I'd

17
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,279
Speaker 1: into changing because you don't invest, you don't give time,

18
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: you don't give energy to someone you hate. So if

19
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: you hate yourself, how can you bring out the best

20
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: in yourself? If you hate yourself, how can you build

21
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 1: a life that you're excited by.

Speaker 1: healthier and more healed. If you're here right now, it's

28
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: because you believe that your mental health is a priority

29
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: in your life. And I'm so grateful that in twenty

30
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: twenty four you're making the time, taking the time, investing

31
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: your energy in making this a top top priority. Now.

32
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: Today day's episode is all about how to silence your

33
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: inner critic when it gets too loud and tells you

34
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 1: to give up. How many of you in the last

35
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: seven days have heard your inner critic say you're not

36
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 1: good enough? Well, then this episode is for you. How

37
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: many of you have heard your inner critics say you

38
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: just can't get it together? Can you? Well, then this

39
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: episode is for you. How many of you have heard

40
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: your inner critic say, have you seen what they're doing?

41
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: Have you seen how far behind you are already? Can

42
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: you believe it's only the end of January and you've

43
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 1: already fallen apart. If the answer is yes, this episode

44
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: is for you. Research shows that only nine percent of

45
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:52,119
Speaker 1: people that make resolutions complete them. In fact, research goes

46
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: on to show that twenty three percent of people quit

47
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 1: their resolution by the end of the first week and

48
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: forty three percent quit by the end of January. If

49
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: you are one of those people, this episode is for you.

50
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: And by the way, some of you may still be

51
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: going on strong, but your inner critic is still loud.

52
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: Even if you're nailing your new As resolution, you're getting

53
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 1: it right, you're on point, you're still hearing that voice

54
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: say you're not good enough, you're not strong enough, you're

55
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: not moving fast enough, you're not getting better enough. So interesting, now,

56
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: what's really interesting is we're not struggling because we broke

57
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: our new As resolution. We break our new As resolution

58
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: because of how we talk to ourselves. Think about that

59
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: for a second. The reason we quit doing something is

60
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: because of the story we tell ourselves about it. Think

61
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: about the last time you quit something. Think about the

62
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: last time you gave up on something. Think about the

63
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,839
Speaker 1: last time you had a habit that you couldn't keep up.

64
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: Promise you that somewhere your inner critic told you that

65
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: you should feel guilty, embarrassed, ashamed because of where you were,

66
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: and there's no point in carrying on. You fell off

67
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: once and your inner critic said, you're just going to

68
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: fall off again, what's the point. Or you're doing something brilliantly,

69
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: and your inner critic said, you're still behind, you'll never

70
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: catch up. We don't fail because we're not disciplined. It's

71
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: because of how we talk to ourselves when we mess up,

72
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 1: when we lose a sense of discipline, a habit, a routine.

73
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: The way we talk to ourselves is what steals away

74
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: our momentum, our drive, our enthusiasm, our energy. It's how

75
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 1: we speak to ourselves in the quiet moments, in the

76
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: silent moments, in the moments in between, that defines what

77
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: happened outside of it. Now, I'm sure all of you

78
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: are listening right now and thinking, jay I can relate

79
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: to all of this. And what's fascinating when I was

80
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: looking at the research is there are two broad types

81
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: of self criticism. From a researcher named Sullivan, a clinical

82
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: psychologist based in Atlanta. Now, some of these thoughts this

83
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: in a critic is first person I statements like I'm

84
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 1: so lazy, I'm so complacent, I'm so not smart enough, right,

85
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: whatever it may be, it's I'm so fill in the blank.

86
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 1: And other people use second person language like you didn't

87
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 1: go to the gym all week, or you're not good enough,

88
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: or you're never going to get that job, or you

89
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: can never start a podcast. This second type of statement

90
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 1: tends to be really really challenging to listen to, and

91
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: Sulomon says that our brains process those thoughts as if

92
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: someone in a position of authority is talking to us.

93
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: They know all our flaws, and they pretend like they

94
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: can predict the future. Right when you're hearing that voice

95
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,799
Speaker 1: that says you can't do it, you're not good enough,

96
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: you're not smart enough, it's actually even more challenging. So,

97
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: whether you're hearing I'm so lazy, or whether you're hearing

98
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: you're so lazy, I'm going to share with you seven principles,

99
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: seven tips and hacks to help you navigate your inner

100
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: critic and build a healthier relationship with the inner critic

101
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: so that you can actually engage in a dialogue with it. Now.

102
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: These tips are super practical, super accessible. You'll be able

103
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: to implement them right away from today. You won't have

104
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: to buy something or develop a new skill or tool

105
00:06:58,240 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: or whatever it may be. You'll be able to do

106
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: this today. So take a screenshot of your favorite ones,

107
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: make notes, share this with a friend, because this episode

108
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: is going to help you become kinded to yourself, more

109
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: compassionate to yourself, yet still let you be driven and ambitious.

110
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: I think that's our worry. Our worry is that if

111
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: we're not hard on ourselves, then we won't achieve great things.

112
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: But we're scared that if we're too kind to ourselves

113
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: then will be lethargic or complacent. Right, how many times

114
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: have you ever thought to yourself, well, if I don't

115
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: put pressure on myself, then I'm just going to coast.

116
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: And how many times have you tried to think, well,

117
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: I'm going to put so much pressure on myself, but

118
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: that also limits your ability. So in this episode, I'm

119
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: going to help you understand how do you navigate the

120
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: inner critic so that you can still be ambitious and

121
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: driven and succeed in whatever way you describe that word,

122
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: and at the same time be kind, compassionate, and mindful. Now,

123
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: let me ask you a question when was the last

124
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: time you helped someone that you hate? If your answer

125
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: was never, great, if your answer was actually, I do

126
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: remember helping someone I hate, how consistently and how constantly

127
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: did you help that person? Generally, we don't help people

128
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: that we hate. We don't invest in people that we hate,

129
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:32,719
Speaker 1: especially not consistently or constantly. So think about this. We

130
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: think we can hate ourselves into changing, but you can

131
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: only love yourself into changing. Let me say that again.

132
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: You can't hate yourself into changing because you don't invest,

133
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: you don't give time, you don't give energy to someone

134
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: you hate. So if you hate yourself, how can you

135
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: bring out the best in yourself? If you hate yourself,

136
00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: how can you build a life that you're excited by it. So,

137
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: just recognizing that this mindset of I'm going to criticize myself,

138
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: I'm going to put pressure on myself, I'm going to

139
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: hate myself into changing, I'm going to hate myself into

140
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: being better doesn't make sense. And by the way, we

141
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: do this to the people we love in our lives.

142
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: We often think that if I make someone feel bad enough,

143
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: they'll be good to me. If I make someone feel

144
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: like they're messing up, they'll get better. How many times

145
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: have people improved because of shame, because of guilt? How

146
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: many people have you shamed into change? How many people

147
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: have you guilted into change? How many people have you

148
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: humiliated into change? And how many people have you criticized

149
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: into change? Maybe they did it for a bit, but

150
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: not long term. We can't guilt people into change. You

151
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: can't shame people into change. You can't embarrass people into change,

152
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: So stop doing it to yourself. You can't hate yourself

153
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: into change. We change because someone believes in us. We

154
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: change because someone loves us. We change because someone invests enough.

155
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: You will change because you invest in your truelf. You

156
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: will change because you believe in yourself. You will change

157
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: because you love yourself. If you want to be better,

158
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: be better with yourself. If you want to do more,

159
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 1: be kinder to yourself. That's what you'll respond to. How

160
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 1: many people in your life respond positively to hate, guilt,

161
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: or shame, Yet we all still try to hate, guilt

162
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: and shame ourselves into positive change. This is your reminder

163
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 1: to be more compassionate, more kind, and more loving. I

164
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: was saying this to a friend the other day. Who

165
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: are saying that all he does is gives himself a

166
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: hard time. He'll overanalyze every situation, every conversation, a presentation

167
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: at work. He'll relive that moment again and again and

168
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: again in his head and keep telling himself it should

169
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: have been better, It could have been better if only

170
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: he did this, if only he did that? What does

171
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: that do? It makes him feel discouraged? But what if

172
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: he said to himself, let's make a plan of how

173
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: to be better next time. Let's make a plan of

174
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: how we're going to improve next time. Let's actually take

175
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: a look at what we did great and where we

176
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: can grow. Let's look at both greatness and growth in ourselves.

177
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: Let's not be blind to our flaws. Let's not be

178
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: falsely flattering or complimentary. We don't want that either. But

179
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 1: let's focus on greatness and growth within ourselves. After a presentation,

180
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: asking yourself, what was great about it? Okay? Where can

181
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 1: I grow? After a phone call a tough one? What

182
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: was that great? At? What can I grow at? So

183
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: quick to judge ourselves and point out all the growth

184
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: and actually not even growth. We point out the guilt,

185
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: but we avoid the growth and the greatness. Remember, you

186
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: can only love yourself into change. You can only love

187
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 1: yourself into change. You can't hate yourself into change. Step

188
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: number two, this is a really important step. Give your

189
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 1: inner critic and name. If we want to remove that

190
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: idea of you're lazy or I'm lazy, we have to

191
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: shift to recognizing that your inner critic is an external voice,

192
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: that it isn't your voice, it's not how you feel

193
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: about yourself. And this is a really really important tool

194
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,839
Speaker 1: because this next point that I want to share in

195
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 1: these both are correlated and connected. Is your inner critic.

196
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: It's not your voice because someone said it to you first.

197
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: You may think it's your belief, but it's not your belief.

198
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: You heard it from someone before. I remember having a

199
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:13,239
Speaker 1: client whose mom used to tell her that she looked overweight,

200
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: that she looked fat, that she didn't look good when

201
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 1: she was a young girl, and as she grew older,

202
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: no matter how her body shaped and shifted and everything else,

203
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: she still had that in her voice. No matter what

204
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: she wore, if she wore a color that her mother

205
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: didn't like, she heard her mother's voice. What happens, though,

206
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: is that over time, the person's voice merges into sounding

207
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: like yours. If you repeat someone else's statement. Enough, in

208
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: your mind, it sounds like it's your own voice. So

209
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: I want you to think about it who said it

210
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: to you first, and you might even name it that person.

211
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: So if it was your mom, if it was your dad,

212
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: if it was the teacher at school that kept saying

213
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: something to you that has become that voice, maybe let's

214
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: give that name to that voice. That way we can

215
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: recognize that it's a conversation between us and our teacher,

216
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: or us in our parents, as opposed to us and ourselves.

217
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: We start recognizing that it isn't how we feel about ourselves,

218
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: that this is an adopted belief, that this is a

219
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: belief that we've picked up. How does that help? When

220
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: you give your inner critic a name, you start recognizing

221
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: that this is a conversation, That this is a relationship

222
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: that you've built that you can distance from, that you

223
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: can disconnect from, that it isn't something within you. And

224
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: when you identify who said it to you first, you

225
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: also start to recognize how careful we have to be

226
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: in the influences we allow into our space. And now

227
00:14:55,400 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: we don't want to find other people who reaffirm that voice. Often,

228
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: if we had a parent that treated us that way.

229
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: We also find a partner who treats us that way

230
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: because it feels familiar, it feels relatable, and Tick not

231
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: Harnt talked a lot about this, this idea that we

232
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: crave familiar pain. So you would rather repeat a toxic

233
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: familiar pattern than break it to experience an unfamiliar uncertain pattern.

234
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: So you would rather choose toxic familiarity than untoxic uncertainty.

235
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: Let me say that again, you would rather choose toxic

236
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: familiarity than untoxic uncertainty because we'd rather deal with problems

237
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: that we're aware of than the challenge of a new problem.

238
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: So often what we do is, if our parents believed

239
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: a certain thing about us, we find a partner who

240
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: believes it as well, or we do the opposite. We

241
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: try and find the partner who adores us and makes

242
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: that feeling go away. But guess what, it doesn't because

243
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: the voice is still in our heads. We're looking for

244
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: the partner who tells us the opposite without forgetting the

245
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: message we've gained from our parents. So give your inner

246
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: critic a name. Name it after that teacher or that parent,

247
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: so you can make it a conversation or give it

248
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: an imaginary name to even weaken it further, to remove

249
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: that authority from it and who said it to. You.

250
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: First recognize that this isn't your voice, and actually say that.

251
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: Whenever you hear that in a voice, say this is

252
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: not me, this is not my voice. I am not

253
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: my thoughts, I am not my mind. Actually repeat that

254
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: with me right now. I am not my thoughts. I

255
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: can choose my thoughts. I can choose which thoughts to

256
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: give energy to. I can choose the voice inside my head.

257
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: Step number four is remove the I am statement. Instead

258
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: of saying I am late, say I am experiencing laziness,

259
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: I'm experiencing whatever emotion it may be, allowing yourself to

260
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:14,919
Speaker 1: create some distance from that emotion or what I accept is.

261
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: I may say I am feeling lazy and I am

262
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: going to make a plan, I am feeling tired, and

263
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 1: I'm going to get to bed early tonight. So if

264
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 1: you're accepting it, you can say the I am, but

265
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 1: you're still saying I am feeling instead of saying you

266
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:37,479
Speaker 1: are right. That distance allows you to disconnect from that

267
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: inner critic. It allows you to create some space between

268
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: you and that inner critic, so you can now fill

269
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: that space with enthusiasm and energy. The repetition of I'm lazy,

270
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: I'm not good enough, I'm not smart enough, I can't

271
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: do that. What that does is it creates a story

272
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 1: and a narrative that you repeat and perpetuate in your life.

273
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 1: Step number five, This one has probably been my favorite

274
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: one because I think what we often try and do

275
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 1: is we try to silence the inner critic before taking

276
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 1: the right step. And this is pretty tough because the

277
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,360
Speaker 1: inner critic doesn't go away. I still have an inner

278
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 1: critic today, right after all these years, I still have

279
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: an inner critic. It still shows up. It still turns

280
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: up because over years I'd heard things, You're not good

281
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 1: enough of that, you can't do that, You're going to

282
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: lose everything, you don't deserve this. Whatever it may have

283
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: been right, it still appears. And what I've realized is

284
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: that I have a few choices with it. I can

285
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: either think, Okay, I need to get rid of this though,

286
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: and then I'll live my life right. Once I get

287
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: rid of this though, then I'll take action. And actually

288
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 1: it's the opposite. Don't let it stop you from making

289
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: the right choice or taking action. You can be self

290
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: critical and still work out. You can be self critical

291
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 1: and still meditate. So often what we do is our

292
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 1: mind says, oh, you've missed meditation yesterday, what's the point

293
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: of meditating today? And then you think, all right, well,

294
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 1: let's not meditate today. Well, no, you can be critical

295
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 1: of yourself and still turn up to meditation. You can

296
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: be critical of yourself and still work out. And it's

297
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 1: better to take the right action because the right action

298
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 1: will allow you to gain more strength to have a

299
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 1: healthier conversation. You'll then be able to say, well, I

300
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: worked out today and I feel great, So I'm going

301
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: to keep working out. And guess what, I feel great

302
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,640
Speaker 1: when I work out, So I'm going to keep working out.

303
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: I'm going to keep building that muscle. So don't let

304
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 1: something stop you from making and taking the right choice

305
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: and right decision. So many of us block ourselves because

306
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: of a couple of misses, because of a belief about ourselves.

307
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 1: How many of you have missed out on a great

308
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: opportunity that was offered to you because somewhere you felt

309
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: you don't deserve that opportunity. Maybe you bumped into someone

310
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: and they said, to hey, message me, I'd love to

311
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: talk to you about this opportunity, and you didn't even

312
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: message because you were so scared that you'd mess it

313
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: up and you'd rather not even turn up. You'd rather

314
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: not even go there. How many of you in your

315
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: life have tried something and because it didn't work out

316
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: one day, because one day didn't go wrong, you changed

317
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: your belief about yourself. Please, please, please. Your inner critic

318
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: is a retrainable voice. Your inner critic is not a truth.

319
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 1: Your inner critic is not a reality. Your inner critic

320
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 1: is a changeable, trainable voice. And that's what we're trying

321
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,439
Speaker 1: to do here. We're trying to make it a voice

322
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: that is like your coach in your mind, that is

323
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 1: going to excel and allow you to want to do better.

324
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 1: Ask yourself, when you want a friend to improve, when

325
00:20:54,920 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 1: you want to encourage, cheer and enthuse your how do

326
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: you talk to them? How would you explain them to

327
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: be better? And this is an activity that I want

328
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 1: you to do. Find the area of your life where

329
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: you most overthink, overanalyze, and overwhelm yourself. What's something that

330
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: triggers you regularly into your inner critic giving you a

331
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,479
Speaker 1: hard and tough time. Let's say that when you make

332
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: a mistake at work, that's when you're the kind of

333
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: person that wants to lock yourself in a bathroom and completely,

334
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: you know, attack yourself. In that moment, I want you

335
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: to ask yourself this question. How would I connect with

336
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: a friend, How would I connect with a loved one

337
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 1: if they just told me this news? How would I

338
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: talk to them? Not? What would I say to them?

339
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 1: How would I talk to them? I'm sure it's with love.

340
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's with empathy. Sure it's with compassion. Okay,

341
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 1: Now what would you say to them? You wouldn't just

342
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:52,439
Speaker 1: say to them, Hey, it's all going to be fine.

343
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 1: And you wouldn't say to them, oh, you've really messed

344
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: up this time. You're the worst. You're going to get fired.

345
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 1: You'd say, Hey, let's figure out how we can avoid

346
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 1: this mistake in the future. Let's figure out how to

347
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: improve this situation right now. Let's build the skill set

348
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: we need in order to perform better. Notice how the

349
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 1: way you talk to yourself transforms how you talk to

350
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 1: others and how you listen to others. I've realized that

351
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 1: when I miss a day of going to the gym,

352
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 1: giving myself grace allows me to commit again tomorrow. Making

353
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 1: myself guilty mayn't force me to work out today, but

354
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 1: it doesn't last. Let's have a day where I eat unhealthy,

355
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: or a couple of days where I ate something that

356
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: I know wasn't good for me, and then I can

357
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: beerate myself. I can criticize myself, I can slander myself.

358
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: I can do all of that stuff. But if I

359
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: actually ask myself, Hey, why did that happen? What was

360
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 1: it about that day that drove me to that decision? Oh?

361
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: I was tired? Oh I was jet lagged. Oh yeah,

362
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 1: that was the day I was feeling really stressed. Understood. Okay,

363
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 1: so let me make sure that I'm resting more. Let

364
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 1: me make sure that I'm sleeping better this weekend, and

365
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 1: then I'll make better choices. Checking in with yourself and

366
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 1: asking yourself, why was that? Why did I do that?

367
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: Why did I miss going to the gym? What was

368
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: the reason? Rather than being like you miss going to

369
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 1: the gym, You're the worst? Now, a couple more things

370
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: I want to mention to you. We have to start

371
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 1: journaling our winds and good moments. We have to start

372
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 1: sharing them more deeply. What we usually do is when

373
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 1: something good happens in our life, we celebrate for a day,

374
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: but when something bad happens in our life, we cry

375
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: for a month. It's no wonder that our negative thoughts

376
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 1: become more pronounced. Right. If you get something wrong, you

377
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 1: literally tell yourself every day for a week, I'm the worst.

378
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 1: I should have done better. But if you get something right,

379
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: you may say once, oh, yeah, I did good. And

380
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: whether we're being modest, whether playing ourselves down, whatever it

381
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: may be, we're training our mind to say, when I

382
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 1: do something wrong, I go really hard on myself. And

383
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: when I do something well, I consider it to be easy.

384
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: I consider it to be expected. We expect greatness from ourselves,

385
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 1: and so we only amplify our weaknesses and flaws. Next

386
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: time you do something right, next time you do something well,

387
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: I want you to journal it deeply. I want you

388
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: to share it with a friend. And by the way,

389
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 1: I got into a bad habit of this when a

390
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 1: few years ago, when I was really grateful that so

391
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: many of my dreams were coming true, when I was

392
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 1: speaking to friends, I started to play down my achievements

393
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: because I didn't want to make other people feel uncomfortable.

394
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: And while I was well intentioned. What ended up happening

395
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: is I started becoming more negative because what I was

396
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 1: doing is I was amplifying my negative experience and minimizing

397
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: my positive experience. Now, if you do this consistently, what

398
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 1: ends up happening is your spending more time talking about

399
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: the mistakes and flaws and spending less time talking about

400
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 1: your successes. No, I'm not telling you to be arrogant

401
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: and walk around being like, look what I achieve, Look

402
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: what I did. That's not the point. But the point

403
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:18,360
Speaker 1: is if you don't deeply cherish, welcome, celebrate your success,

404
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: is deeply you're training your mind to be more critical

405
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 1: than the cheerleader. We need to strengthen the cheerleader in

406
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 1: our mind, not the arrogant person, not the egotistic person,

407
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 1: but the cheerleader that says you're doing great, you're on

408
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 1: the right path, you're making the right choices, keep going.

409
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: Not the voice that says you're the best in the world.

410
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 1: No one's as good as you. Everyone else sucks, Right,

411
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: it's not that voice. So notice the difference between the critic,

412
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: the cheerleader, and the person who's actually cheating you. Right,

413
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: we're not trying to be cheated by our ego. We're

414
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: trying to be challenging and enthused by the cheerleader. Final step,

415
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: at the end of every day, write down three things

416
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: you did that day that you did well. Three things.

417
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 1: It could be as simple as washing the dishes and

418
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 1: saying to yourself today, I did a really good job

419
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 1: washing the dishes. It could be you got the laundry done.

420
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 1: It could be that you wrote that article, you launched

421
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 1: that podcast, you got to the gym. Whatever is, what

422
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 1: are three things you did that you did well today

423
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: that you made happen today. We have to start retraining

424
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 1: that thought because guess what, most of us, when our

425
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: head it's the pillow, will list all the things we

426
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: didn't do. This isn't positive thinking. This is improving the

427
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 1: conversation in your head. If your head it's the pillow

428
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: and you go, I didn't do that, I didn't do that,

429
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 1: I didn't do that. Basically, what you're saying is you're

430
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: a failure. But if you said to yourself, Okay, I

431
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: didn't do those three things, but I did that, and

432
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: I did that and I did that. All right, I'm

433
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: doing okay, I'm doing good. I can do better, but

434
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 1: I'm doing good. I really I hope that this episode

435
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:07,120
Speaker 1: helps you silence, calm, and navigate your inner critic. I'm

436
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: hoping that you can be kinder and more compassionate to

437
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: yourself so that you can be more successful, so that

438
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: you can achieve more, so that you can be more impactful.

439
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: And I'm wishing you a year of productivity, performance, but

440
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 1: also patience, calmness, and love. Thank you so much for listening.

00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: you have been missing some of my episodes. I don't

00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 1: want you to miss out and on purpose. In twenty

00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 1: healing together. If you love this episode, you will also

452
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 1: love I interview with Kendall Jenna on setting boundaries to

453
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,719
Speaker 1: increase happiness and healing. You're inner child.

454
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 2: You could be reading something that someone is saying about

455
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 2: you and being like, that is so unfair because that's

456
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 2: not who I am and that really gets to me sometimes.

457
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 2: But then looking at myself in the mirror and being like,

458
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 2: but I know who I am. Why does anything else matter.
