Part of my journey in being a mom, wife and mompreneur….)not to mention a double Virgo), was to make friends with my inner critic
For years, especially after becoming a mom and a wife, juggling “all the things”, I found myself very critical of myself
My choices
My clothes
My waistline
My inability to make the money I used to make
My hair
My work
Since I was such a critic (hello Ego mind!), I tried meditation for a few years
It helped….for a while
But then I found myself never having any boundaries, falling upon addictive behaviors (emotional eating and binge drinking) and really struggling with my self worth/self esteem
It caused my inner critic to go on OVERDRIVE
I felt like a worthless mom/wife and was operating on workaholism and avoidance of this “critical voice” by staying “busy”
I hit a wall after gaining 40 lbs and realizing that when I looked in the mirror, I didn’t know who the hell I was anymore.
But once I started working on the inner quest of asking myself where did this inner critic come from and what was she trying to tell me, then my life started to change for the better
I got to know her
I got to stop judging her and numbing myself/avoiding her
She and I became friends
And now I listen to her with curiosity and compassion
And through that journey over 3 years, I shed the 40 lbs, stopped being the binge drinking workaholic, made more authentic friends with myself, girlfriends, my husband, my children and just all out had more FUN in life
How did I get there?
Here were the BEST things I found in the past 3 years that helped me transcend that inner critic and my hope is that you find these helpful too!
- Daily meditation
- Microdosing with sacred plant medicine
- Observing my thoughts and becoming a witness to them more and more
- Journaling about where these thoughts came from (thru diligent shadow work)
- Working with a spiritual teacher
- MOre time in nature
- Trusting my own divine spark within!!! (aka Higher Self/Intuitiion that was really underneath that inner critic who was trying to get my attention!)
