My inner critic can really take off on me. If I put a foot wrong in any direction, my inner critic can really go nuts on me, blaming me for screwing things up, getting down on myself and generally making me feel terrible. It doesn’t help anything. In fact, it makes things worse. Not only am I feeling bad about what happened but I am compounding it and digging myself even deeper into a hole. What’s the point? What happened happened, it can’t be undone. But beating myself up just makes it so big that I have two things to recover from. First the screw up itself, then the bruises I inflict on myself because of it. Beating myself up doesn’t help anything. Today, I will find a kinder and more tolerant inner voice.
