The Inner Critic is the main source of our biggest blocks to perform at our best. Fortunately, there are simple and effective ways to banish the inner critic in order to do our best work as contributors, collaborators, and leaders.
First, you’ll discover the three mental power tools that you already possess to stop the inner critic in its tracks. Then you’ll learn methods for dealing with the fear of being judged and criticized, how to transform highly critical self-talk into that of approval and encouragement, and ways to feel like your ideas are good enough and stop committing “ideacide.”
By the end, you’ll have a roadmap of how to get unstuck, do your best work, and channel your creativity as a force for positive change in the world.

S.H.I.F.T.
C R E AT I V E D O S E :
Stay present:
Take several deep breaths to get yourself grounded and back into your body.
Have compassion:
Understand that you’re feeling scared and commit to giving yourself comforting messages.
Invoke mindfulness:
Realize that you are not your thoughts and that you have the power to observe them without reacting to them.
Focus attention:
Choose to place your attention on alternative thoughts.
Trust your ability to problem-solve:
Know that the creative part of you exists and it will come out when you relax.
