ATG 132: Transforming Your Inner Critic ...

JON ACUFF
About this episode

How do you effectively deal with your inner critic? I've realized that I need my inner critic, but not all the time. He's terrible at the start of projects and brainstorming, but he's great at checking the final details when the project is almost done. Don't fight him, just invite him to the right parts of your life. Together, we'll uncover practical strategies to transform your inner critic from a hindrance to a powerful ally. Let's conquer our inner critics and achieve our goals.

Every successful goal has four stages: 1. Dream 2. Plan 3. Do 4. Review. Invite your inner critic to the Review stage to get the most out of it. Learn how to have fun in all four stages right here!
