Chrysalis Career Coaching

Is your inner critic having a negative impact on you professionally?

Having a critical eye can be helpful but not if it means being overly self critical and feeling like you're never good enough at what you do. This was me for years and I was stuck in a pattern of negative self talk and thinking.

My harsh and often inaccurate self view impacted my ability to move forward professionally - until I shut it down.

Your inner critic is your biggest opponent.

It's the voice of self-doubt.

Your inner critic will undermine you.

Crush your spirit.

Make you question yourself.

Diminish your self-esteem.

More than likely your inner critic has kept you company for too long.

If your inner critic is too loud, the volume needs to be lowered.

If your inner critic is deafening, It needs to be silenced,

And you need to part ways.

Let it go...

✅ question the negative thoughts of the inner critic
✅ practice self compassion
✅ develop awareness of your thoughts
✅ replace overly critical thoughts with accurate statements
✅ be patient and kind to yourself as you would a friend

Remind yourself what makes "you" special.

And let that be the loudest voice In your head.

“Every dreamer is the author of their destiny,

Do not underestimate your dreams.

It's your inner child

screaming what you should do.

Free it.”

~ Alan Maiccon ~

Don't believe everything you think.

Thoughts are powerful.

They can be like a runaway train.

They'll take you on a ride you didn't ask for.

Or you didn't want.

And before you know it,

You're ruminating.

Thoughts are powerful.

And they want your attention.

And they usually get it.

Your thoughts can trick you into believing

Almost anything.

Especially that who you are

is never enough.

💥Not smart enough
💥Not successful enough
💥Not deserving enough
💥Not thoughtful enough

Guard the gate of your mind.

And be mindful of your thoughts.

Challenge your thoughts that are self sabotaging

and negative.

Then tell your thoughts to get lost!

Knowledge is limited.

Imagination circles the world.”

Only beautiful versions

Of brokenness.”

Honor yourself.

Live by your standards.

Set the bar high.

And always strive to be your best.

For yourself,

and for others.

If you fall short,

life will present new opportunities.

It always does.

Keep your eyes on what's really important.

And meaningful.

This is the road to a happier life.

Living with purpose.

If you keep looking in your rear view mirror,

you only see the road behind you.

Try not to be attached

to what you left behind.

Cherish and honor your past,

Just don't live there.

Honor yourself.

And set your bar high.

Be your best self.

Give rise to your aspirations.

Make them the thread of your life.

Hold them close so they don't slip away.

Reflect on them.

Visualize them.

Act on them.

Remind yourself to remember yourself.

And listen to your inner voice.

You are more than your doubts.

You are stronger than your fear.

Your aspirations are waiting for you.

Give life to them...

Kindness is a choice we make.

It brings out the best in each of us.

It lives within our hearts.

And our minds.

There is no such thing as a shortage of kindness.

It comes in many forms

and places least expected.

You don't have to look far for kindness.

It's right in front of you.

And within you.
