I think I have previously met y inner critic overrule a lot of my life. I have constantly thought I am not good enough. It has been something that has held me back and made me afraid to elevate myself, and perhaps prevented me from reaching my full potential. With a strong inner coach I know there is more I can do.

Hmm, seeing The Shadow dressed in scribble, a suit & reverance but emotionless was awe inspiring. Then to hear The voice.. the echo show up to stand off against this inner critic; The shadow. I was transported to a diffrent world both entities had respect for eachother, with The shadow gracefully bowing out & folding to the assertiveness & logic of The voice.. the echo

I need more practice. It’s hard to overrule years of the critic only but hopefully this will get easier

Damn that was rough. I pictured the critic as a grim like figure holding up my doubts to me. The inner coach was like a fighter who was countering everything being said. It was pretty tough but I’m glad I can see clearly what is going on in my head here.

It’s doesn’t matter how much my inner coach disagrees with my inner critic when the critic is proven correct by years of evidence. The coach can be supportive but it doesn’t mean he’s right
Coach is me when I’m feeling confident and at the peak of my prowess and always points to positive examples. Feels great to
Call it

Gonna try and bring my inner coach on during work when it may get stressful to help calm me down and remind myself that I can do this, hopefully using them in other aspects of my life will help
Try to give yourself more credit, this sounds like your inner critic talking. You’re stronger than this. Maybe try reframing the thought, there’s an exercise here called “Reprogramming your negative thoughts.” Bring this thought into the exercise and follow the steps to work through it.

My inner coach is the version of me when I am confident and assertive. My inner is gentle on me yet firming in his decision. He guides me through lows and together coach me back up.
My inner coach is the older, richer wiser, fitter and more confident version of me. He knows how to put my inner critic in his place because he deals with the truth and not exaggerated lies. He helps me face my fears head on and shows me how to deal with them confidently. He’s also humorous and lightens my mood. He helps me carry on and get better.
If your coach can prove your critic wrong just once, it’s more than worth it. “Years of evidence”notwithstanding, feed your coach more and starve your critic. Then see who’s stronger. You can do this believe or not.
I feel you. This is a disciplined exercise but I believe with time and practice it will definitely work.
My inner coach brought warmth in my belly, relaxed a bit my shoulders.
It felt pretty good to have them in my head helping with negative thoughts and emotions that were getting in the way.
