Day 1

Does your inner critic put you down and make you feel small?

Yeh, I understand! The thing is, you are in fact SO much bigger than that nasty inner voice. In Day 1 you'll start to realise this. 🌷

In Day 1 we practice AWARENESS & ACKNOWLEDGEMENT the pivotal first step to quieten our inner critic. 

As the saying goes, "You cannot change what you are not aware of."

So today we're going to start turning towards our inner-critic. 

But why would I want to turn towards something so horrible?! 🤷‍♀️

In today's step you'll discover how turning towards your inner critic, noticing it and acknowledging it actually helps to create more distance between you and that voice. 

The renowned mindfulness teacher Jon Kabat-Zinn beautifully reminds us, "You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf."  By cultivating awareness first, we can learn to ride the waves of our inner critic with kindness, observing its chatter without fully identifying with it. 🏄‍♀️

Through this gentle distancing, we open up the space for self-compassion to flow, which we'll be adding in the following days. So for now, please click to watch the video above and get your simple instructions for Step 1 and I'll see you there 🙂
