Our ‘inner critic’ is the voice in our head that tells us we are always doing something wrong. This constant self-judgement is a huge source of stress for many people. In this exercise you will learn how to challenge this ‘inner critic’ through harnessing your capacity for compassion, and start the move to a calmer state of self-love and acceptance. This exercise requires some self-reflection on past and present experiences, so try to do it when you have the space to take 10 minutes to think without feeling rushed.
Instructions
For this exercise, all you will need is a quiet space and a pen and paper.
