Stop beating yourself up! Not so easy. Negative self talk, inner critic, catastrophising, self-doubt spirals - they are a natural consequence of being human.

But - our rush to beat ourselfs up when we believe we have 'failed' in some way - is a real squasher! It stops us moving forward and often results in us wallowing in a swamp of self-doubt for hours, weeks or even years!

In this episode you will join me in exploring why we do this negative self-talk and - crucially - how we can manage it - accept it and then do something to move us forward.

There is a kind of mind trick involved - and it revolves around a well researched concept - 'distanced self talk' -  Article here.

I also recommend the book - 'Chatter' by Ethan Kross.

And - my book - 'The Mystery of the Squashed Self' and TEDx talk.
