Silencing Your Inner Critic: A Fun Approach
Words can echo in our ears for years upon years. And I am not the only one that still hears the horrendous words. “You’re fat, you’re ugly, you are not enough.” And so it reverberates in our ears. “I am not enough.” I hear the same story from women nearly every single day. Some refer to this voice as “The Critic.” Well, I for one think it’s time that we start to have fun with this. So I named mine, and now I laugh every time I say, “Shut up Wendi!” to the critical voice that only I can hear. So, I prayerfully ask that you consider doing the same. Name that voice and have fun with it when you tell him or her to shut up for however long it takes for it to lose power over you. Because once it does, oddly enough, it’ll go away.

I’m naming my inner degrading voice in my head, Willie. SO shut up Willie!
I love this!! My girlfriend named hers “Rachel.” She was saying, “Shut up Rachel!” When her husband was like, um, who’s Rachel?! We have been cracking up ever since. I’m glad you liked this!
