157 | Mastering Your Inner Critic: A 10-Minute Routine to Stop Negative Self-Talk
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Negative self-talk doesn’t wait for the right moment. It shows up before coffee, before clarity, and before you’ve even had a chance to steady yourself for the day. And for driven, thoughtful leaders, that inner critic is often louder—not quieter.
In this episode, we’re talking about why negative self-talk isn’t a personal flaw or a mindset failure, but a habit rooted in regulation. You’ll learn how a simple 10-minute routine can interrupt the spiral, bring you back into your body, and stop your inner critic from hijacking the day—without pretending doubt doesn’t exist or forcing fake positivity.
You’ll Discover
- Why negative self-talk is less about facts and more about nervous system regulation
- How to interrupt the inner critic without arguing with it, shaming it, or forcing affirmations you don’t believe
- A practical 10-minute routine that brings you back to center and restores choice, clarity, and self-leadership
