3 Tools to Quiet the Inner Critic + Boost Self Esteem and Confidence + Positively Change the Neuropathways in Your Brain

Episode 18Have you ever tuned in  to your inner roommate? You know, the one up there who resides in the mind and is the negative Nancy to your life, the one who critics, judges, and possibly puts you down?  We all have an inner critic and they’re actually not bad at all. I believe our inner critic is connected to our stress response, or the sympathetic nervous system, and designed to keep us safe. But what happens when our inner critic gets too loud and starts leading the way? Similar to how we can accumulate stress, depleting our inner resources and  wrecking havoc on the body, our mind also begins to run wild with stress and worry, creating a negative environment within the mind that lowers self esteem and diminishes self confidence. In this episode we explore 3 simple yet powerful tools to quiet the inner critic, create a more pleasant environment in the mind, boost self confidence and self esteem, and positively retire the neurpathways in our brain so that we become the most motivating inner coach. NotesMel Robbins Book: The High Five HabitListen to the 5 minute guided mantra meditation Calm + Peace: www.daphnelyon.com/calm-meditation The Practice Membership - Join for a free week trial: www.daphnelyon.com/membership Connect on Instagram @thepractice
