Affirmation, Positive Thinking
Most people have an inner critic in their head that pipes up every now and again telling them that they can’t do something, that they don’t deserve it, or that they are not good enough.
Although your inner critic may seem to be a negative force, it does not always work against you. Sometimes it may be attempting to keep your behaviour in check or trying to protect you from making a mistake. But when your inner critic’s intervention in some situations doesn’t relevant anymore and get in the way of your good intentions, that means your inner critic must be kept in check.
When your inner critic start giving you the negative pictures or thoughts, say silently to yourself ‘STOP!’ and replace it with a positive affirmation.
