Through meditation I’ve started to realize that worry, stress, doubt, fear, anxiety - this big neurotic posse are both illusory and self-fulfilling.
To worry is a choice. To feel stress, to doubt your abilities, or to be afraid of stepping out of your comfort zone are all choices we make. And only when we make these choices do they become real, thats when then they tint our reality a bit darker. And so now our fear that we weren’t going to have good sex tonight has manifested itself. And of course it has, we painted the perfect picture in our minds for it to become real.
The beautiful side of this is that to be calm, loving, courageous, and considerate are all also choices we can make in each moment, that will transform our lives. The universe works mentally, and it is entirely due to your thoughts that you are in the position you’re in today. Now all you have to do is be present, forgot about yesterday completely, it doesn’t exist. And just be exactly what you want.
It sounds simple because it is. Your reality can be as happy and amazing as you want. So smile, be kind to yourself, and to the world.

My inner coach felt a lot like me. It was a new insight how detached from my emotions my internal monologue has been.

I see that I can keep the critic at it place for when it does need to protect me but in most situations where he’s been coming out are wrong, so my coach is there to calm and reassure me that I’ve got this and am in control and will be my guiding light in the times the critic wants to come out and try and protect.
It is the mentor that I should listen to to have a more balanced approach to stressful or anxiety-inducing situations
My inner coach is the strong confident person I am and is there to give me the boost I need when I need it if I channel it properly
Giving facts counter to critic
I think my inner critic is this ashamed, scared little guy instead of someone criticizing me. So instead of beating him I need to help him feeling safe and comfortable.

I will use my my inner coach to boost my confidence
That he is a part of my thoughts and desires to be happier in myself
I picture them to be more kind and stronger - an actual person unlike the critic who appears to be a dark creepy figured. My inner coach actually cheers me on and helps me not dwell on past negative experiences, it sometimes brings logic and evidence to defeat my critic
Critics was cocky and the coach was wise
Critic was a little pathetic and annoying, coach was strong
Use it to help me to be more balanced in my thoughts
It felt good to have something positive to be said to counteract the negative, I haven’t felt the two side by side before
It really is good to know that anything is possible if you believe in yourself & be positive.
My inner coach was aggressively motivational and snapped back at the critic. It felt good to have a powerful voice to counter the critic.
I was quite surprised to notice that the inner coach, almost immediately, took control and knew exactly how to deal with the inner critic. Felt reassured and confident when the inner coach came out.
