066: How to Use Mindfulness to Quiet Your Inner Critic with Cindy Tsai

Do you ever hear a voice in your head saying you aren't good enough? Or that things won't work out for you?

That voice is your inner critic, and unfortunately, many of us have struggled with this voice for a long time. These voices keep us stuck in a state of fear, and they prevent us from becoming our best selves. But when you learn to quiet your inner critic, you can break the cycle of negative thoughts and make big moves, even when they're scary.

In this episode, I talked with Cindy Tsai, a board-certified physician turned mindfulness teacher and life coach about the complex relationship between us and our inner critics. Cindy shared her own story of rethinking her career path, how to practice mindfulness when your inner critic speaks up, and three steps to quieting that negative voice in your head.

What you'll find in this episode:

• How a life crisis can inspire you to rethink your path
• Identifying your inner critic and understanding where it comes from
• How your inner critic often keeps you from being your best self
• The three steps to quieting your inner critic
• How you can practice mindfulness in all areas of your life
• Why it's so hard to break out of negative thought cycles
