First stage

Your inner critic is nothing more than a collective of the judgements and negative beliefs of significant others from the past which you bought into and then ended up making your own

And now they resurface at every turn to undermine you yet again and each repeating of their mantras magnifies their ill effects
The good news is that everything changes once you recognise this fact, affirm the past is over, and finally make the clear heart choice to be free and 'be you'

Second stage

From now on, hold an ongoing space for this inner critic, not ignoring it but listening with fresh new awareness to everything it says

Quietly ask questions like: where did I pick up that idea originally? Who used to treat me that way? How unfair was that? That's not very loving is it? And what would I say to a dear friend who had internalised this stuff?
With genuine self love and gentle patience towards yourself these negativities soon dissolve, as you curiously expose each one, and the spiteful devious subtle manipulations hiding behind it

Third stage

Given time the inner critic retires. It evolves into your inner supporter instead

A supporter which now faithfully amplifies every loving motivation and encouragement that issues from your heart
Now you're truly centered with an inner strength to draw upon for dealing with lifestyle stresses, anxieties and challanges. This all helps to boost your natural self-esteem

Fourth stage

Listening to your heart will always guide you home

So, own your passions, values, and your dreams regardless of what others think or say. Stay true to you, your feelings & your needs. Gift yourself the break your heart desires. Share your authentic you with all the world. And affirm you love youself to little bits

and finally

Listening closely to your heart you will surely live a most fulfilling life

One where you pursue your goals and aspirations with little fear or doubt. Where you express yourself freely unconcerned with judgments or rejections
Here, centered on your own path, you're more present to each moment's sacred gift and more conscious of all the beauty in your world
