Increase your self-esteem by standing up against the inner critic (1 minute read)

This post “Increase your self-esteem by standing up against the inner critic” continues with how you can increase your self-esteem by listening to your feelings and heal self-destructive shame.

 

Increase your self-esteem by standing up against the inner critic:

One way of reducing self-critical shame is to become more self-compassionate.

Last post was about the inner critical voice that is a part of shame. You can become more self-compassionate by talking back to this critical voice when you hear it:

The critic says:

“how stupid of me!”

“Can’t you do anything right?”

“Are you for real?”

“Idiot!”

You can answer:

“Everybody makes mistakes. You did your best”

“I do many things right, but sometimes things go wrong. I will learn from it”

“I will talk as respectfully an encouraging to myself as I talk to others when they do something that they are not proud of”

“I am a kind and helpful person with good intentions”

If the critic then questions these statements – just insist, repeat them and add:

Regardless of how much you inner critic is trying to exaggerate and put me down, I will try to remain kind and loving to myself.”

More about how to overcome exaggerated shame in upcoming posts.
