This is a very powerful clip! I think I get it if I tell myself, I’m fat and lazy. Then my core values are fitness and productivity… if my inner critic tells me my my kitchen is disgusting and people will think I’m gross then I know I value cleanliness and order if my inner critic is loud, it means I am not being authentic to my core values… #Transformational

[masterangel]

Shadow work can help that inner critic become healthy in that way...like a discernment tool.

[raeesap]

So if the inner critic is constantly telling me I'm not good enough in a particular area, then it's because I value that thing and it's holding me accountable? Interesting insight

[Monkeyllx]

Incredible insight and wisdom.
To anyone battling their inner critic, please…Listen, take note and then listen again…and allow yourself to separate the inner (critical) voice from the inner warrior/superhero/plain and simple stronger ‘you’ that you must believe in if you’re watching these videos.
Pat yourself on the back for all the things you HAVE done and ARE proud of (even if the achievement was ‘just’ getting through another day!) as opposed to beating yourself up for things you didn’t do or felt was a failure.
Keep on keepin’ on, as the saying goes.
Nobody else knows your struggles, your resolve, your world, ..so compare less and believe more 🙏🏼❤️

This woman is hypnotic. Her clips the way she speaks something about her is so peaceful and so attractive 😍. God bless

[leigh-annabivens]

She's a frickin' genius! The inner critic holds us to our standards. It's loud when we're off base and quiets down when we're congruent to ourselves and our beliefs. Excellent!

[greatman_CCJR]

I will meditate with my inner critic to clarify my inner values! This. Is. PARAMOUNT!

🎉🎉🎉

In a time of enormous stress, I began having inserting thoughts that sounded external. They stopped when I listened to them as carefully as I could without judgement and took notes. I consulted the I Ching and read that they were Deliverance (as from evil). That is exactly what they were.

[csyzuyu]

I'm in love with the way she explains things so smoothly, it's a big shame for me not knowing her until now.

[pleun]

Look at her....just sitting.... The most beautiful angel her wisdom and light ❤️🙏

[dadful]

wow....never heard that before of 35 years of searching...very profound.

[HarantheBlue]

This is maybe one of the most important things I've heard. People say "oh you're fine as you are" "you don't need to improve anything". But that voice that tells you 'you're not what you could be' is right. It's always going to be right. How could there be a limit on the highs of the highs?

[clairekosmic]

My inner critic is most fierce at a certain time of the month. She is my shadow sister - divine feminine checking in with me.

[PreYeah]

Omg yes!! Thank you, Teal! I had developed an obsession (limerence) over somebody to the point I was just doing crazy things like taking on their interests etc. It felt so authentic but my own upbringing/attachment style knew no way other way.

Despite this, an inner voice kept finding this "gross" and "sick". My friends told me what I was doing was harmless, that I'm allowed to also have/like similar interests as him. But they didn't get the authenticity factor. Finally, I gave in to my inner voice and stopped. I realized I cultivated much more respect for myself and he then started to respect me.

The Inner Critic is not an enemy, but is an internal compass! It warns us when we are straying off our authnetic path due to our own bad conditioning/habits etc.

[litolacap]

I truly believe that I am understanding what she is saying.
I thought about this and I felt about it and as far as I can remember it is the first and true revelation of what I became of it .

[ZerefCifer]

this is so interesting, I never thought about it like this but the more shadow work I did the more I realised it's alot more like a protector for real

[maureenmesserli]

Your comments on this platform really resonates with my soul... the core meaning ..short to the point... no attachment no desire no distinguishing/observing with no judgement of whether it is good or bad... only observing

[MiraJune]

The inner critic is another name for the emotion of "shame". Most people grow up with emotionally abusive parents who weaponized shame as a tool to hurt their children. They purposefully activated that emotion in their kids to get them to fall in line.

Shame, or "the inner critic" is actually known as the MASTER emotion, it's stronger than fear, rage, lust, everything. That's why parents abusively activate it in their children, because it WORKS.

Those children then grow up with their own inner critic (shame) being permanently tainted by their parents verbal abuse "Why can't you be more like your sister?" "No son of mine will be a cry baby" Etc. Etc.

Shame (the inner critic) is supposed to develop into, essentially, an internal parental unit when you're an adult. It's there to speak up before you do something stupid, because it TRULY has your best interest at heart. It's supposed to lovingly guide you, even when that means tough love, by sending messages like "You can do better than this. You DESERVE better than this. You know that, right?"

It's supposed to steer you in the right direction to live your best life. BUT, because of most people's relationship with their internal sense of shame has been hijacked and poisoned with abuse, they grow up DEEPLY FEARING the experience of shame (i.e. repairing their relationship with their internal critic) to where they cast it out as an emotion all together.

You see this in people who say they're "proud" of who they are, yet they're constantly throwing away their health via smoking, drinking excessively, doing drugs, are obese, extremely promiscuous, unapologetically rude, etc.

These people are not actually proud of their lifestyles, they're wearing pride as armor to avoid experiencing shame (which, when experienced in a non-toxic, healthy way, will lead them to self improvement and true happiness)

We need to stop weaponizing shame in others, and learn to co-exist with it within ourselves, as our guiding compass to becoming our best selves.

Moral of the story: Face your own shame, learn to separate out the abusive things told to you using shame, and find your inner critics TRUE voice calling out to you. Then, listen to it and let it lead you to greatness. And other people's shame, is NEVER yours to try to activate and hijack. It is their compass and theirs alone.

[nomadicbydesign]

WOW! It's so liberating to think of it like that. Thanks Teal.

[sharond]

So we should befriend the inner critic for it guides us and kinda keeps us in check too so clever ❤
