Peace

I’ve been thinking a lot about how our inner-critic interferes with our inner-peace.

The core of the inner-critic seems to always have good intentions, but somehow things get twisted and it becomes the thing that brings us down, creates fear, highlights imperfection causing obsessive perfectionism.

I wonder what would happen if we put some self-care thoughts at the forefront of our minds. Maybe we’d give our inner-critic more truthful information to work with.

If we’re being real… Peace may look like…

• letting people be wrong about you

• not over explaining yourself

• being alone for awhile

• investing your energy wisely

• being very mindful of who you allow in your space

• not being liked all the time

• making some people mad

• accepting things you can’t change

• HONORING, TRUSTING & CHOOSING yourself

We have an inner-guide within us, it’s a knowing that trumps our inner-critic, but we need to listen for it. It’s not the loudest, but it is the truest.

I’d love for you to challenge your inner-critic with the points above this week. What comes up for you when you consider letting people be wrong about you, or deciding not to use so much energy trying to convince others of your truth? I’d love to hear your thoughts, or struggles with this.

Have a mindful week!
