So what does your inner critic sound like? Angry? Judgmental? Afraid? Does it make you feel doubtful, guilty, or ashamed of yourself? Does it shake your confidence so much you hesitate to pursue your dreams? If yes, then it’s time to learn how to take a stand against your own inner critic and quiet that noise in your head.
It’s natural to notice and compare to others and, realistically, you’re not going to be the same or even as good in some areas. As an Orange County psychologist, I see many of my clients trying to “Keep up with the Joneses,” and it’s just not possible with the level of success it takes to live here. Someone is always going to be doing better, but that’s not the problem. Things start to spiral downward when you start to berate or criticize yourself and this can quickly begin to affect your life.
