Let Go of the Inner Critic to Get Back Your Confidence and Time

Do you ever notice that voice in your head that's constantly critiquing and doubting yourself?

The one that points out everything that’s wrong with you, focuses on every mistake, and says that you’re not good enough. The one that constantly worries about what people think of you.

The one that thinks that you can’t slow down or take a break because you will fall way too behind.

As a result, you are constantly overthinking, doubting and being hard on yourself. And when that inner critic gets loud, you end up too overwhelmed to take action on what really matters.

Sound familiar?

Too many people let their inner critic lead the way, especially women. 

The thing is, anytime you're doing something new or stepping out of your comfort zone, you will likely second-guess yourself and imposter syndrome will seep in.

There's nothing wrong with you! This is normal.

When you can quiet that voice – and make your choices in deeper alignment with your values, priorities and what you really want – those fears and worries don’t matter so much.

It gets easier to let go of what everyone else expects, and simply trust in yourself more.

You can feel more confident in your choices. And you get back your time and mental energy that is spent overthinking your every move.

A real shift comes in feeling more balanced and confident in yourself and your choices, when you learn to quiet your inner critic.

I talk about this and what you can do to help quiet the unhelpful voice in your head, in this video: Letting Go Of The Inner Critic To Get Back Your Confidence and Time.

I keep it real by sharing my own struggle and what you can do so you can feel more confident, free up time and energy, and shine in a whole new way. 

(You have no idea how much time, energy and progress it's costing you now, letting the inner critic drive).

Rather than sacrificing your personal time to be successful or compromising your best performance, you can sacrifice the doubts, worry and your inner critic from leading the way.

You'll feel better and more confident in yourself, and have more time and presence for what really matters.
