how to silence your inner critic

Your inner critic often makes it challenging to love yourself. But finding self-love is possible. Follow these 4-steps to silencing your inner critic and take a journey to find self-love that will transform your life.

If your inner critic has overwhelmed you with negative thoughts, it's time to take a journey to find self-love.

The journey to find self-love has many advantages

When we find love for ourselves, we can better serve others. The Bible tells us to love others as we love ourselves, it doesn't say love others instead of ourselves. If we don't quiet our inner critic, the critic voice will stop us from doing what we are called to do to make a difference in the world.

We are to love others as we love ourselves, but as Paul gently reminds us in Philippians 2:3, we are to be humble and value others above ourselves. So yes, self-love, self-respect, and honoring our bodies and minds, is important and right, but we are to do so by loving God first, and respecting and honoring others above ourselves.

Self-Marriage as part of the journey to find self-love

Erin's journey to find self-love began when she went to a festival and discovered the concept of self-marriage. Self-marriage is the concept that you are always there for yourself. She identified what she was looking for in a partner, someone to make her feel smart and beautiful, and there she learned that she could do this for herself. Through self-marriage, she committed to doing this for herself throughout the rest of her life.

Until this point, Erin had been looking for a guy that would make her feel smart and pretty. She thought that if she found that guy, she'd be able to go out into the world and be her full self. The self-marriage experience was a turning point for her, that she could do this for herself.

After this experience, Erin when to medical school to become a naturopathic physician.

What is a naturopathic physician?

Naturopathic physicians are trained to be primary care physicians. Toward the end of Erin's school journey, she discovered mind-body medicine. She decided to work in this area to help people find their mental-emotional issues so people could heal from their physical ailments.

Erin worked in private practice doing mind-body healing for a while. She loved the deep work. Her work involved helping women discover that they were whole and complete as is.

During Covid, Erin decided to take her business online. Her focus became self-love. The experience of teaching classes on self-love since 2009 came into play to help her build her online business. In a nutshell, Erin helps women feel comfortable and confident in their own lives.

Our thoughts create our results

Robyn emphasized that we, as women, experience so many things in our lives, traumas, relationships, etc. that lead to inner criticism. We know that our thoughts create our results. Our thoughts influence our emotions and feelings which in turn influence our actions, inaction, and behaviors. If you aren't working on your mindset, you will delay your ability to make progress in life or business. Likewise, you may not be able to discover true joy, hope, peace, and purpose.
