Eliminating Self-Criticism
-
Follow These Steps:
-
Acknowledge that self-criticism can be damaging
-
One by one, go through your criticisms and ask yourself, "Is this really valid?" If not, cross it off your list.
-
Figure out when each criticism began. Take time to resolve why you feel that way.
-
Release any negative remarks from your repertoire that stem from negative, early experiences because they simply hold no validity for you now.
-
Counter your critical voice. Designate your supportive, caring voice as the one in charge.
-
Stay focused. You can challenge the validity of any criticism simply by continuing with your efforts to accomplish your desires.
