Next, address the your inner critic with compassion.The next time you hear a critique in your head, consider: Who is speaking? Does the voice sound like you, or does it sound like someone from your past? Sometimes our inner critics are driven by formative experiences or by people we encountered years before. So, how do we overcome the anxious critic in our head? The problem is that anxiety is not a sustainable motivator and perfectionism often causes procrastination. Anxiety has become the driver that powers us through. Now, our internal voices threaten, shame, and harshly critique us in life and at work. Somewhere along the way - through messages we received in our childhoods, our adolescence, or even in our educations and early careers - we internalized the message that if we make mistakes, we are not worthy. Many anxious achievers push themselves to the point of overwork in an effort to achieve impossible standards.
