It’s easy to feel overwhelmed and put yourself down in everyday life. You can easily feed into your inner critic, that tiny voice inside your head feeding you negative thoughts. You can easily spiral into being anxious and unmotivated as you hear bad news from the Internet, compare yourself to others, and wish you had it better. Fortunately, all these issues can also be a way for you to become a champion as you conquer the hurdles.
This article will discuss three surefire ways you can put into practice to transform your inner critic into a confident achiever. Take this as your starting point to feeling and becoming healthier. This way, you can accomplish more than you thought possible as you continue to rediscover your inner strength.
Start by questioning your negative thoughts
When you hear your inner critic’s opinions, it can be easy to take them as facts since you may be comparing yourself against others. You may also be affected by your more recent failures, like losing an important marathon or failing to go to the gym for a long time. However, the truth is you may be consumed by your negative thoughts without challenging them.
For instance, let’s say you want to run two extra miles than you did before, but you are held back by your inner critic saying, “you can’t even win a race. Running for longer is a hopeless ordeal.” The problem with this kind of thought process is it’s set on one perspective, leading you to be convinced you cannot surprise yourself. So going back to the example, you can retort with “well, what if I can do it? And what if it’s the best way for me to lose weight and become healthier?”
Challenging your inner critic with questions gives you a fighting chance to be more accomplished, even if it’s the tiniest victories. Remember, you need to learn to walk before you run. In other words, you have to keep trying to succeed!
Practice positive self-reinforcement
If you have an inner critic, it’s great to have an inner encourager, motivator, and fighter. These personas are the self-reinforcement you need to go against your critic’s demands.
While it may also be tough to feel good about small rewards, as they can make you feel guilty, just remember that every small, positive change counts. As such, do what you can to stay happy and encouraged, like talking to yourself in the mirror with compliments and rewarding yourself to some rest!
Undergo health training programs
If you have been with your inner critic for a long time, you may have already become accustomed to its harsh remarks and feedback. As a result, you live out the rest of your days feeling disappointed and stuck in a rut. The good news is if you commit yourself to the right program with a professional health and fitness coach, you can set the right routine and have the best resources to unleash your inner champion.
