Quieting Your Inner Critic
A 5-Day Self-Compassion Challenge. A gentle guide to help you shift from harsh self-talk to a kinder inner voice.
I created this free self-compassion exercise to support you if you often feel like you’re your own worst enemy — constantly judging, doubting, or pushing yourself harder than necessary.
Many of us carry an inner voice that’s quick to criticize or shame us. We repeat its words in our heads. We shrink ourselves. We hesitate, second-guess, or overcompensate, not because we want to but, because, at some point, listening to that voice felt like protection.
This 5-day printable guide was created for those quiet moments when you find yourself wondering:
“Why am I so hard on myself?”
This guide will help you gently explore where your inner critic comes from, why it still holds power, and how to begin relating to yourself with more compassion and trust, without forcing positivity or silencing your feelings.
