Inner critic lives
"to keep me safe." This is interesting. I am familiar with having to fight the half- truths of the enemy. This however, is a new approach to me. I am critical and fault-finding of myself....fascinating statistic the 85% of our myriad thoughts per day are negative.
Thank you for the practical ideas to hold a self-critical thought to ask if it is serving me.
I long to show up for my children with a full cup...I think I will try this. Thank you, Julie!
