Ask America's Ultimate Experts: Help! I'm too hard on myself!
Article courtesy of Woman's World Magazine issue 3/28/22.
Women berate themselves 10 times a day, say researchers. Here, easy ways to mute your inner critic and treat yourself with more compassion.
Be kind to you
Listen to signals
When that voice in your head sows seeds of doubt, you first instinct is to push it aside--but listening to it will help you free yourself, says expert Bonnie Weiss. "Ask yourself, 'What's this really about?' People often find they got a message in childhood that they weren't good enough, and their negative self-talk is a part of them that hasn't healed. Looking a little deeper lets you shift from your inner critic to your inner champion."
ID your critic type
There are three main kinds of internal naysayers: perfectionist, taskmaster, and underminer. Knowing which "bullhorn" your inner bully prefers will help you muzzle it, says Weiss. "If the perfectionist tells you that you could be doing better, say, 'It's good enough for now.'" While perfectionism can lead to procrastination, for fear of not being good enough, the taskmaster is all go-go-go: "it never lets you rest. to quiet this voice, just repeat: 'It's enough. Life's about balance'" The most toxic of all "critics" is the underminer because it tells you that you can't succeed. "Remind this voice: 'It's okay to dream big--if I stumble, I'll learn from it.'" Simply using the right response can help silence negativity.
Take a pause
Rather than berate the voice that berates you, channel the voice that celebrates you, encourages expert Susan MacKenty Brady. "When harsh words start to play in your mind, take a deep breath and pause to help ground yourself," she advises. "Simply relax and picture the bighearted, empowering part of you standing independently from your inner critic, reminding you just how you've accomplished and overcome throughout your life."
Boost resilience
Find peace
We all stumble at times, and the trick to ensuring we get back up is telling ourselves two words: "It's understandable", says expert Beverly Engel. "Just say, 'It's understandable that I get really nervous when I get a new assignment at work,' or, 'It's understandable that I have trouble dealing with negative people.' This empathy is the biggest missing puzzle piece when we're down on ourselves after a setback, and whispering it to ourselves gives us hope that we can grow and succeed."
Lean on your wise tribe
The more we surround ourselves with a chorus of support, the fainter the voice of our inner critic becomes, says MacKenty Brady. "I'm anti-'superwoman'--the unfair expectation that we can do it all ourselves," she says. "Instead call on your team of friends, and let them listen to your doubts, just as you listen to theirs. When we lean on others, we borrow their confidence, until we can be confident in ourselves."
Keep shining your light
One of the most helpful questions to ask yourself is: What makes my best self thrive? "Some of it will be deep, like having meaningful conversations, and some of it will be fun, like getting your nails done," says MacKenty Brady. "Self-care is a conscious intention from moment to moment. You can't shine your light if you're casting your own shadow on it, so be sure to let yourself shine."

Besides utilizing the tips in the 👆above article...
Besides utilizing the tips in the above article, that's how a coach (such as myself) can assist you with the following:
- Setting realistic goals that you can accomplish that won't overwhelm/burn you out (for example, I once had a client tell me that she was having a hard time maintaining her goal of applying to a job a day. I had mentioned that unemployment required you to apply for 3 jobs a week to obtain unemployment & even though she may not have been on unemployment, I suggested she try applying for 3 jobs a week instead so then she could maintain that & then exceed it if she still wanted to apply for more job/(s) past her weekly goal).
- Not putting off something that could be easier than you think (for example, I put off installing an angel view mirror in my car for a couple months. It was on my "to do list" but I'd somehow not get to it and I believe it was because even though I had long read the instructions & user manual & it seemed pretty easy/not complicated that I didn't want to do [would've ❤️ed if someone else did for me 🙂] AND also thought it may not work [had seen only 1 review total for the item with a customer that complained it didn't work in their car]. However, this week when I went out to my car to do (as it was on my "to do" list that day), I'm going to tell you it was literally like 2 minutes to snap on & no tools involved. I know not even 5 minutes of work. (Angel view mirror is a mirror that shows blind spots. It did take like a trip or 2 driving with this new mirror to get used to since it shows much more than a regular rearview mirror, but I've adjusted to it). It's photographed below.
- Just plain needing guidance/advice in your career or business marketing as you can't do it all by yourself. I'm going to give you a very present (recent) example of what I mean that you can't do it all by yourself (regardless of how diligent you are): 10 days I dealt with very nagging pain that would NOT go away & would hinder me being able to bend over completely to do basic tasks such as washing my feet in the shower, putting lotion on my lower parts of my body, throwing my head upside down to put my hair in a towel after washing it, working out fully, as some examples. Yes, I took action immediately when this happened & stopped doing exercises that I believed was working my back, worked out less/modified my workouts (walking was best), got a massage last week from a new massage therapist I'd never been to since it was my first time not being able to get in with my usual one (big mistake) the service was awful in addition to treatment that didn't really help, I implemented specific/more stretches, icing didn't help, used massager devices, put my own pressure (for the right pyriformis pain), the drug free pain patch didn't work on my right glute (but works great for other pain), used BioFreeze on my right si joint (right lower back), tried getting into my chiropractor, bought this rocker device (photographed below) where you can adjust it to 2 different levels that can be used when sitting (different inclines). I knew this device would help me as it can assist with my posture better than cushions or just trying to have great constant posture on your can. I even ordered an inexpensive back belt that velcro's around you & has plastic nodes on it that can dig into certain areas around your lower back that can be worn for lower back pain & other pain in your body (this got cancelled from Amazon I have no idea & they refunded me), ensured I was carefully & properly getting out of bed correctly & I always properly get in my car correctly (a chiropractic assistant showed me many years ago to assist with lower back pain when I was in a bad car accident that wasn't my fault), moving slowly/cautiously when bending/squatting, but by sharing all these examples one could see that I was doing everything I could to improve my situation & get rid of my problem (no different than anyone would if they had a career situation they wanted to improve/get rid of). However, it was not until I looked the day before yesterday morning (5 hours before my massage therapist had an opening on the same day) & I went to her & we discussed everything I was doing when she worked on me & she recommended I try heat that night & NOT poke that area for a day (I hadn't done heat anymore after hearing previously this year from another massage therapist to just ice). That the next day (today) I feel significantly better did NOT get rid of pain completely, but I can tell you that I am in a WAY better situation than I was BEFORE going to her. So my point of explaining all this: it doesn't make you weak, incapable, etc. for hiring a professional for assistance with something. I’ll leave you with this quote to ponder: “Change happens when the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change.” --Tony Robbins
Phone consultations are available for purchase thru Mon. 9/30/24 BEFORE 11:30 pm PST
Consultation option #1: 30-minute career & resume consultation (I will have you fill out a 9-question form PRIOR to the call so I can get a better idea of your career goals & needs & will be something I can discuss along with my recommendations on improving your resume [I will look at your resume on my own time PRIOR to the call] as well as tailored to you service recommendations & pricing details at the phone call as well). The ability for us to ask/answer any questions we may have during this timeframe as well. NOTE: You don't have to have a resume to do this consultation. All of this is for $95.52 (which includes my newsletter's debit/credit card processing fees so that I can net my $90 rate).
The above consultation is great for those who aren't ready to commit to a brand-new resume creation by me/may just want to get recommendations for improving their resume if they want to implement themselves. The consultation is also great to get an idea of what your career goals/needs are (i.e. if you don't know what career services to purchase) & what you need to do if you want to work with me (i.e. if you need a brand-new resume creation, brand-new cover letter creation, & an interview practice session you can determine how/when you'd fund them if you're not doing all at once). These are just some examples, I offer many other services. 😊
Consultation option #2: 30-minute LinkedIn consultation & LinkedIn profile review (I will have you fill out a 4-question form PRIOR to the call so that I can get a better idea of your LinkedIn needs & goals so that I can provide tailored to you LinkedIn service/(s) & pricing I offer at the call as well as discuss my recommendations on improving your LinkedIn profile) [as I would have looked at it PRIOR to the call on my own time]. The ability for us to ask/answer any questions we may have during this timeframe as well. NOTE: You don't have to have a LinkedIn profile to do this consultation. All of this is for $95.52 (which includes my newsletter's debit/credit card processing fees so that I can net my $90 rate).
The above consultation is great for those who aren't ready to commit to a brand-new LinkedIn creation/revamp by me/may just want to get recommendations for improving their LinkedIn profile if they want to implement themselves. The consultation is also great to get an idea of what your LinkedIn goals/needs are & what you need to do if you want to work with me (i.e. if you need a LinkedIn revamp, LinkedIn marketing package, & a LinkedIn training session you can determine how/when you'd fund them if you're not doing all at once). These are just some examples, I offer many other services. 😊
Consultation option #3: 30-minute Writing, Editing, or Marketing project consultation & project review (I will have you fill out an 11-question form to fill out PRIOR to our call where I'll get a better idea of your writing, editing, marketing needs) as well as review your project [if applicable] beforehand (i.e. your website if you want to rewrite copy on it, your essay/assignment for school, your book, etc.) At the call, I will discuss my findings/recommendations with how I can help with your project (including pricing) &/or anything else you may have filled out in that form. The ability for us to ask/answer any questions we may have during this timeframe as well. NOTE: You don't have to have a project for me to review to do this consultation. All of this is for $95.52 (which includes my newsletter's debit/credit card processing fees so that I can net my $90 rate).
The above consultation is great for those who have a project for me that they need help with &/or want to see how I can help them with some marketing for their business. The consultation is also great to get ideas of some marketing, writing, editing that could be done in your business & what you need to do if you want to work with me (i.e. if you need a business plan, copy written for your website, & more marketing consults for your business, you can determine how/when you'd fund them if you're not doing all at once). These are just some examples, I offer many other services. 😊
Consultation option #4: 30-min. to discuss any questions/situations you may have in your career or business where you'd want to enlist my advice & guidance OR as a great add-on (refer to definition below in this section). I always recommend clients send me their questions/topics that they want to discuss BEFOREHAND so that I can review them & best estimate the time needed so that they can purchase the appropriate time for the consultation. Plus, it ensures we best maximize the call time & ensure something doesn't get forgotten (to discuss). This consultation would also serve as a great add-on to another consultation (i.e. if a client wants me to review another resume, a cover letter, or other writing, editing, or marketing project). All of this is for $95.52 (which includes my newsletter's debit/credit card processing fees so that I can net my $90 rate).
Consultation option #5: 60-min. to discuss any questions/situations you may have in your career or business where you'd want to enlist my advice & guidance OR as a great add-on (refer to Consultation #4 above in this section the only difference is this would be 60-min. instead of 30). All of this is for $190.74 (which includes my newsletter's debit/credit card processing fees so that I can net my $180 rate).
(If you want to pay outside of newsletter without a debit/credit card & with U.S. cash or money order, it would be $90 for all the consultations described above that are $95.52 when paying in my newsletter & $180 for the $190.74 consultation when paying in my newsletter per consultation you wanted to purchase & read to the bottom of this section of my newsletter that reads: "If you want to pay outside of newsletter without a debit/credit card...").
