![Guess who is always knocking on the door when you’re pushing yourself out of your comfort zone?
Yep, it’s your inner critic.
She takes on many forms...
• Perfectionism
• Impostor syndrome &
• Procrastination, just to name a few...
Before you start hating on her, remember, she’s only trying to protect you from getting hurt.
When she shows up, open the door, acknowledge her presence and then, let her know that you’ve got this. Then, when she steps aside, guess who’s waiting around the corner to step in?
That’s right, it’s your inner badass. She’s there to answer the door from a place of love, esteem and courage (if you let her).
Maybe your risk is about making a commitment to yourself to live more intentionally or to be more creative or to finally start the business that’s been on your mind or to take the business you have and make it what you know it could be.
Do I have to tell you everything that your inner critic would say to the what-if’s that show up as you’re about to leap?
Nope, because you know that voice and what she says by heart. You’ve been listening to her for so long that her judgments feel like facts.
They’re NOT facts. They’re fiction.
The fact is that you are enough. You deserve to create a life that makes you come alive. Everything you need to create the business of your dreams is there for you. You deserve to take the time to explore your creative impulses.
And the only one standing between where you are now and where you want to be is you. I know you have a laundry list of reasons (ahem, excuses) of why this isn’t the right time or you don’t have the resources you need etc. But, that right time is whenever you want it to be. You are the one who molds what could be just another groundhog day into that day that you take the first step towards what you want.
