Evict your inner critic.
Evict the voice of your inner critic & notice the shift in your mindset.
Today, instead of resisting the voice of my inner critic, I paused, took a few cleansing breaths, and thought ‘What the heck, let's see what she’s got to say.’
Do I even want to listen to or put any energy toward the story she’s telling me about how I “shouldn’t” have eaten that extra piece of pizza or indulged in chocolate?
Absolutely not!
Who does she think she is, trying to come in on a Monday morning & disrupt all the soul care & self compassion I work daily to cultivate & embrace for the care of my whole body?!
To be completely honest, not long ago I would have allowed myself to listen & let the story play out over & over & over again until I was a ball of anxiety, with belly clenched & hands sweating.
Instead of carrying guilt, I would be punishing myself with a run & restricting how I nourish my body.
“The
best way out is always through.”

Instead, I practiced my daily gratitude, tended to my nervous system, meditated & moved my body with joy & intention.
Because of the deep discovery work & ongoing self care I practice, my authentic self is proud and humbled that I no longer need that inner critic to protect me.
Instead, I have the tools, support & self compassion to let her go – to close that door & allow myself to grow, heal & forgive.
The feeling of freedom, empowerment & pure joy within me because I took action and evicted the voice is truly life changing. My hope is to share my experiences of journey & peace of mind with you.
If you’re ready to step into a life FREE from guilt & aligned with who you are at your core, I’d LOVE to hear from you and offer you support.
