Monday Motivation - The Inner Critic, Part 3

 To take steps towards your imagined future, there are some questions to ponder:

1.         What do you imagine as your ideal self? What are all of the good things you want from your life? From your writing? From your relationships? Body? 

2.         Now, in the same way you’d create a character for a story, how do you construct the person who you’ve imagined in step one? Here are some additional question:

a.         What does this person do every single morning?

b.        And before bed?

c.         How does this person deal with failure?

d.        What does this person say to themselves when they are sad? Lonely? Depressed? Overjoyed? In love?

e.          How does this person act in the world? 

f.          How does this person work? 

In the end, you’ll find you’ll live your way out of the story of your inner critic and into the story of your ideal self.  

 This is a lot to deliver in a podcast. I know a lot of you will reach out with questions, but I’d also encourage you to dig deeper. Reach out to a coach or therapist if you need it. Read books on your inner critic. This is such a huge topic that my hope here is not to give you the game plan. I can’t do that via a podcast, but my hope is to open up your mind to possibilities. Awareness that change is possible is always the first step.

 Thank you so much for listening, and I hope you have a wonderful week of writing.
