We spend a lot of time on this blog talking about the Harsh Inner Critic, how it developed, and the role it plays in your life. It is important to remember that it is usually not right. You can build skills to find relief from its influence. Your life does not have to be controlled by these painful, critical messages.
You are not going to be able to banish or destroy these messages. However, you can learn to not allow them to dictate your moods or run your life.

An undeniably important step to creating a successful relationship is to understand some key aspects of yourself. Among them is understanding how you choose to go about accomplishing a task. This can be anything from cleaning a house or office to planning for the future. This can help you in friendships, romantic relationships, and in partnerships and teams in the workplace. Knowing your own work style and the style(s) of those around you, can help lower the stress and conflict around getting things done.
Do you ever wonder why you don’t get as much done as others seem to? Are you disappointed in the things you decide to do, or by the outcome you achieve? There are those who can get twice as much accomplished as most folks, even organized people. Why? It may have to do with intention.
“I don’t know where he stands in our relationship, but I’m glad he still thinks I’m girlfriend material. He still wants to have sex with me.”
I’ll be your dream, I’ll be your wish, I’ll be your fantasy.
