You Are Not Your Critical Thoughts

Dr. Aziz: Social Anxiety And Confidence Expert, Author and Coach
About this episode

Subtitle: Navigating Your Inner Dialogue: Seize Control from Critical Thoughts

Description: In this enlightening episode, Dr. Aziz offers a striking visual metaphor: the bus driver. Your critical thoughts are merely passengers, not the one in control. This understanding allows you to take the wheel, defining your direction instead of being driven by the ghostly fears and feelings of yesteryears.

Embrace the power and choice that comes with being the bus driver of your own life, distancing yourself from unhelpful criticisms. Learn to steer with confidence and intention, propelling towards a future dictated not by your past, but by your conscious aspirations.
