Silence my inner critic

My new “technique” is whenever I hear that voice echoing in my head “you aren’t good/smart/strong enough”, I’m going to cut it off, right then and there and actually say “Shut Up, you’re wrong”.

I know it sounds corny, but it works.

And in addition, I am going to treat that voice like I would treat anyone else who would tell me I can’t do something… get mad, and vow to prove her wrong.

My professor told me to make an invisable box where I can store all of my critical thoughts. He said “whenever you have a critical thought erase it from your mind and put it in your box”. I was doing real good for about a week and then I lost the stupid thing and I have no clue where it went. So my new goal is to make a new one and put an alarm on it so it can’t get away! Wish me luck!
