#189: The Voices in Your Head

"It was an incredibly powerful object lesson about what our unchecked negative self-talk can turn into and just how toxic it can be for all of us."

 

What you'll learn about in this construction podcast episode:

• What the "Inner Critic" sounds like, and how it can become toxic.
• How it's self-sustaining and what it says can become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
• Beating ourselves up, what the inner critic does, is a preemptive gambit to inoculate ourselves from external shaming.

1. Gratitude
2. Catastrophize
3. Make a Definite Decision
4. Subtract the Negatives
5. The B.H.A.G.
6. Detach
7. The Power of Generosity
8. Community
