Find the helpers
Your inner critic feeds off of attention. It can feel so wonderful to complain on a coworker's couch at times. When this happens on a regular basis, it feeds the cycle of judgment. Let's pause for a moment to reflect and consider the people in your community who can assist you in your journey.
Where are your mentors or educators whom you admire, with whom you might have lunch and discuss what's going well and what your goals are? Who are the folks who will not follow you down the rabbit hole but will instead assist you in problem-solving? Who is going to call you out when you believe negative thoughts? You answer the questions and name the people to whom you can seek assistance.
