Your Inner Critic Isn’t Wise, It’s Scared, Lazy & Stupid

Your inner critic claims it’s Socrates, but really it’s just a drunk heckler in the cheap seats of your brain.

“You suck!” “You think that’s a smart move!? Wow. Your ideas are about as good as The Cracker Barrel rebrand!”

Yeah. Groundbreaking insight. Your inner critic makes Yelp reviews sound like a response from a PhD dissertation committee.

We give the critic so much power - as if it’s whispering some cosmic truth from the Oracle of Delphi, instead of recycling insults from your junior high gym teacher.

Look, your critic isn’t deep. It’s not wise or even conscious. It’s lazy. And you know what else? Scared.

It doesn’t build, create, or innovate. It just hurls popcorn at your confidence.

So next time it pipes up, don’t fight it. Just say, “OK. Thank you for sharing” and keep on keeping on.

And just with a kid throwing a temper tantrum in the candy aisle, you don’t reward bad behavior. 

And while your critic heckles, your Higher Self is writing the headliner set. Start listening to that.

Best of all, your Higher Self also has a security team that will throw that drunk heckler out.
