Rewrite Your Inner Critic with Meditation
As we go through life, we often find ourselves being our own worst enemy. Our inner critic can be harsh and relentless, constantly berating us with negative self-talk. But what if we could transform that voice into one of kindness and encouragement? Meditation can be a powerful tool in rewriting our inner dialogue

My latest #blog “NUMBERS” on how numbers - streams, likes, fans, follows, comments etc are affecting me and how it can feel as a #writer, when the perspective on what you are doing suddenly flips over into a negative or “minus” state:

Getting in early for my #NewYearsResolutions.

My psychologist has set me the task to not deflect or minimise anytime I receive appreciation, praise or thanks.

To break a habit of 40+ years. Not impossible though.

Human interaction for me at this time of year is minimal!

Today I am grateful for:

Another day with Gibson

Our annual Thanksgiving taco tradition

and for #ChaniNicolas ‘s #ChaniApp , which has been a key self-care resource during this long absence from therapy. My after-dinner dog walk meant affirmations on collaboration and healing, and a walking meditation in conversation with my #InnerCritic . I’m not an astrology person, but Chani’s meditations and affirmations are unusually accessible and helpful for me.

A story about #emotions… Their importance, different sort of emotions, the inner critic,…

What Parkinson’s has made very clear to me is how thoughts and emotions affect the body. Yes, my wiring is different now. I’m more emotional. Or perhaps not!? Maybe the walls around subliminal thoughts and buried feelings are broken down and more easy to access? You are unable to hide, even partially, because those hidden thoughts and feelings exhibit themselves so quickly. Painful and vulnerable. But what awareness it brings! #Parkinsons #Awareness #InnerCritic

Our Inner critic (IC) can be very mean to us. It’s a way we can really downgrade ourselves (by telling us that we are stupid, ugly,…). How can we deal with the IC?

The deathbed reflection trope, “When you’re on your deathbed you won’t wish you spent more time at the office,” for example, can be both true and simply the inner critic going on the attack. And I’m guessing we want to get to a place where any regrets are learned from and let go of, so that the inner critic can’t get a foothold either now or at the end of our lives. #innercritic #lettinggo #philosophy #Buddhism

Turn your inner critic into your greatest ally.

Typical self-help tactics won’t help you with your inner critic. The common off the rack affirmations, forced positive thinking, motivational quotes and psychotherapy are surface solutions at best.

The pathological inner critic lives deep within and requires an equal level of depth when working to transform your inner self.

We teach simple but effective methods that can be applied to your everyday life. If you're tired of your inner voice dominating your days and hindering your life, visit us at https://feeldifferent.com/programs/your-fate-is-not-sealed

How you act, how you react, how you navigate through life and the choices you make all depend on how much or how little you allow your inner critic to dominate your mind.

Rewiring your inner dialogue to transform your inner critic from a destructive nuisance into a constructive advisor is crucial to making real changes in your life. As a result, the health levels of your self esteem and confidence will become undeniably evolved.

HEY EVERYONE! I have AWESOME NEWS to share! *Takes a deep breath for courage* ...Okay, here goes:
I am self-publishing a chapbook of poetry comics, and it's almost done! WOO-HOOOO!!!
Announcing this project has been surprisingly hard. I mean, really *really* hard. I've had to wade through a lot of internal noise & shaming around disabilities, internalized ableism, productivity, & all the awful messages we *all* get that our worth will be measured primarily by our ability to work & produce. All that garbage. I'm pretty sure many of you know what I mean & have struggled with at least some of this, some of the time. So I wrote a Patreon post trying to untangle all that, in case it's helpful to anyone else - hell, it might even be a pep-talk of sorts. If you wanna wade into that with me, you can find that here:
https://www.patreon.com/posts/woohoo-poetry-of-61093975
...Honestly, I'd really love to have your feedback on this & to hear how *you've* found your way through this stuff. Because you might notice that I scraped together the courage to make this announcement on Patreon back in March - and it's taken me just under 4 whole months longer to be brave enough to make a more general announcement here. I've been so afraid to jinx myself, so afraid to announce this project and then fail. I haven't known what to do with these fears. I didn't used to struggle with these kinds of doubts. YUCK.
Mostly the only way I know how to deal with fear is to shrug and do the thing anyway. I wish it actually felt as simple as that! So if any of you want to share how *you've* handled these kinds of fears & hesitation, I'd really love to hear what's worked for you - I could use some more tools for this particular toolkit. Suggestions, anyone?

This quote "When change comes from a place of non-acceptance..." broke me. So often I'm trying to change myself to fit in, instead of better myself.
