When I found out our inner critic never goes away, it was a huge relief!
Watch the video below to find out why.
Hello my lovely writers. I’ve been thinking about how those little voices in your head are ever-prevalent. I had a few of those inner critic voices in my head this morning, criticising me about something. I shook my head at myself thinking, gosh this never goes away, does it?
The inner critic never goes away
The inner critic never entirely goes away. I thought this would be worth sharing with you because we often believe we can master those voices in our head, that we can eradicate those voices and, once we’ve done that, there’ll be no stopping us and we will be ready to go. Everything will be possible.
But what I’ve realised over the number of years I’ve been working on my own mindset is that the inner critic doesn’t go away. This was a really big learning for me and I remember specifically being in a training where this was made apparent.
And do you know what?
I found it to be a huge relief that the inner critic never goes away, and I hope it will be a relief to you, too. If our inner voice is here to stay, it means you can stop striving to get rid of it. You can stop striving to eradicate those voices from your head and putting off your writing before you start doing something.

When I understood this was part of human nature, I could learn to manage those voices, to console those voices and quieten them. That felt much more doable.
If that makes sense to you and feels good and achievable, I’d love to help you manage your inner critic.
I’ve created a lovely online programme called Unlock Your Creative Block, in which we delve into how to quieten those voices in your head, which will then allow you to do all the things you want to do, including writing a book.
If you know you need to master what’s going on in your head before you can write your book, join me at Unlock Your Creative Block.
I’ll see you there.
