WP2.3 – The Inner Critical Voice

It is important that we actively challenge our critical voice so that it does not undermine our confidence and motivation. Make a list of the statements you might hear from your inner critic. Some of the examples I have given may apply to you but there may also be others. Now provide the counter-argument for this, perhaps the perspective your most trusted and supportive friend may give or someone who has always encouraged you to succeed professionally.

By engaging in this activity you are exercising self-compassion. Evidence tells us that self-compassion is important to enable us to access our creative and original ideas. To learn more about the positive effects of self-compassion please explore the resources available at the following link:
