"You will never heal." "You're different/more f'ed up than everyone else." "No one here likes you." "You're not smart enough." "You didn't do it perfect."
Any of these sound familiar?
This is the voice of your Inner Critic (IC).
I used to believe this voice lock, stock and barrel. I truly bought everything my IC was selling: "you can't do this, you're unsafe, you're ugly . . . "
Beloveds, unidentified, the IC wreaks havoc on our lives. It becomes the lens through which we see ourselves in relationship to EVERYTHING and EVERYONE.
So, if you want to discover your soul's calling, but the prominent inner voice you hear is, "You can't do this. And anyway, what would people think?" Then there is probably a major block to seeing and hearing your innermost truth.

For now, here's the most important thing to know:
YOU are not your inner critic.
The Inner Critic is a combination of the voices of your earliest caregivers. Eventually (around age 6 on) you adopted these voices as your truth and began to speak this way to yourself as a way to keep yourself safe and to try get love.
Knowing this can be a gateway to disidentifying with the IC as the true you.
More on this is my newsletter and here tomorrow!
