When we fail to identify and separate from this inner critic, we allow it to impact our behavior and shape the direction of our lives. So how can we challenge this inner voice?
The love I'm talking about here is pure and contingency-free. I like to imagine this love as an ever-flowing fountain, bursting with warmth, kindness, and compassion from each one of our hearts.
When you find yourself beating yourself up, how can you stop? Should you ignore your inner critic? Argue with it? Or is it best to become friends with it and love your inner critic?
