Putting Your Inner Critique To Rest

Self criticism is one of the major reasons behind lack of faith in ourself. In this era of conscious living, being aware of the fact that there is an inner voice that is very critical and is thriving in making us feel bad about ourself, or is the reason behind us feeling stuck in a certain level in our life, this kind of awareness is powerful. This meditation will help you deal with that inner voice with kindness and compassion, while acting as a reminder, that there is a choice of not being so critical. Practising this meditation, whenever you’re feeling bad about yourself or whenever you catch yourself with an inner critisicism that you’re not good enough, this will aid you in creating feelings of positivity and inner peace.

Hello my love,

I'm Anumeha and today we're going to come face to face with our inner critique and allow ourselves to put that critique to rest for good.

Let's begin by taking deep breaths and center ourselves a little bit more.

Take a deep breath in and out.

One more time,

Take a deep breath in,

Breathe out.

One last time,

Take a deep breath in and out.

Let's talk about how each and every one of us have gone through an unkind and a critical inner dialogue majority of time in our lives.

Our criticism comes from self-doubt and shame that's been instilled within us through things we've been taught as a child or what people have said to us or the standards that the society has set for us.

This inner dialogue tends to start when we are younger and as we keep growing older our inner critique tends to become more and more ruthless towards ourselves.

Today we're going to show our inner critique how to be more compassionate and considerate of our own self.

Close your eyes and repeat after me please.

I forgive myself for criticizing me.

I understand that my inner critique comes from the voice of either an authority figure or from the pressure that I put on myself for being a certain way.

I am willing to forgive my inner critique solely for the reason that it is a part of me and I deserve all the love and forgiveness from my own self first.

To the part of me that feels that you're not good enough I'd like to say that you are perfect as you are my love and I love you for who you are right now.

Every time my inner critique comes out I will remind myself that I can choose to be more kind to myself.

I forgive myself and I let go of all the weight that holds me down.

I am well aware of the fact that more than the criticism I deserve kindness acceptance and love.

I love myself exactly as I am.

I am worthy of all my desires in this moment.

I declare this to myself and the universe that I am perfect as I am.

I allow my inner critique to rest and call upon all the kindness consideration and love that I have for myself to lead the way when I talk to myself from this moment onwards.

I love myself and I act like it from now.

Whenever you're ready my love you can open your eyes.

I hope that this helps you realize that every inner dialogue that you have you can choose to have an alternative one.

Thank you so much for being here.

I hope you have a great day.

Sending so much love and light your way.

Namaste.

You
