It's like trying to build a house and some jerk just comes along and keeps destroying part of it. Working on beliefs are great and I feel like I've made a lot of progress. But I think until I get this inner critic under control I'll keep struggling. What you say to yourself day to day is just as important, I really overlooked this. No matter how many positive beliefs you internalize, if you berate yourself day in day out it's gonna fall apart.
Totally agree with you, and I don't know if you've read my posts about STATE, but what you're describing is the third part of a person's STATE which is: How you talk to yourself. I'd suggest that instead of trying to "manage" the inner critic, just change what you tell yourself.
Oh, and you're quite welcome. Cheers.
