Do you ever get mentally down on yourself?

Do you ever get mentally down on yourself?



And by down on yourself I mean... you say things to yourself that you would never say to your worst enemy.



I know I have.



Sometimes, I can be the person who is the meanest to me. We can think that the critics of the world have mean stuff to say - but I think it's the inner critic that says to worst stuff about us.



Why? It's a defense mechanism.



It's a story we tell ourselves to prevent our greatness and our purpose. Our inner critic keeps us in jobs we hate, relationships that are toxic and earning less income that our potential.



Many times it's not the world "out there" that stops us, but the world "in here" - that inner self talk can crush your dreams, stop your purpose and make you withdrawal into a smaller version of your life than you intended.



But, there's a way out.



And it's not through a bunch of meaningless affirmations that you say to yourself to get a temporary boost. Or a green juice. Or a pair of fancy yoga pants.



There's a real - grounded way - the make peace with your inner adult critic, its the Ten Stages that lets your child within out of its basement of discontent.

The Ten Stages is a studied recovery course. It is a source of reconnection a method of unlearning and a reintroduction to our child within which leads us back to our one true intuitive voice.We start to learn and come out of our protective dysfunctional shell and reclaim our lives. #childwithin#10stages
