I was tyrannized by my Inner Critic my entire adult life. She was constantly criticizing, belittling, nagging, finding fault, comparing, and judging me. I desperately wanted to get rid of my Inner Critic but nothing worked. The advice I found on the Internet didn’t help. Inner Critic workshops gave me temporary respite from my Inner Critic but she never stayed away long. Therapy didn’t help. In early 2022, a friend recommended that I read the book Positive Intelligence by Shirzad Chamine. I loved the concept of mental fitness so much that I took the 6-week Positive Intelligence® mental fitness program and added mental fitness training to my daily routine. I didn’t realize that mental fitness training would give me the tools to finally tame my Inner Critic but it did. Today, my Inner Critic does not run my life the way she did two years ago.
