​Episode 23- Are you taken down daily by that little negative voice inside your head? If so, you are in good company, as we are often our own worst enemies. In this episode, Jenna and Amber try to break down this negative thought loop pattern, in hopes of freeing themselves from this slavery of the mind. Hopefully, this episode will inspire you to throw off the shackles of your inner critic, and live as your true essence embodied.

SHow Notes

[object Object]
DEFINITION of CURBING YOUR INNER CRITIC: Telling that negative voice in your head that prevents you from loving yourself, believing in yourself, and following your dreams to sit down and shut up. Often we are our own worst enemy, but this can change with mindful intention.

MAIN POINTS
  • Let your ego die: Make yourself a vessel of universal love, and thus your inner critic will die.
  • The "negative ego" is rampant and out of control in our society. This causes so much pain in each of us.
  • The ego causes us to be in separation consciousness, when we should shift toward unity consciousness of universal love. (The other IS you)
  • Even if you can't kill the ego, at least notice when the "negative ego" is in control of your mind.
  • Social media is killing us by getting us stuck in ego consciousness and inner critic mode.
  • If you see something you want in somebody else, take it as a sign that it is yours and you should move toward getting it for yourself actively.
  • Jenna and Amber discuss how their own inner critics take them down, and try to talk through it together.
  • People are only putting up their best moments on social media (including us!), so don't let it get you down! Probably everyone is suffering behind the scenes.
  • Choose love in every moment, that is the medicine.
  • If you are beginning to go into a downward spiral of comparison, move in action toward what you want to achieve in the world instead of dwelling on what you don't have.
  • Move into your trigger and turn your trigger into inspiration to get what you want.
  • Take action toward your own heart path
Bring a little more lightness into your day to day with superfoods!

​CHALLENGE/INVITATION: Identify the main story your inner critic tells you that is taking you down. Figure out where that story originated from, and move toward healing that original wound with love and acceptance. Take on a ritual that focuses on redirecting that negative self-talk into positive, empowering dialogue.

This are very important observations. Jung talks about the negative Anima in men. It seems to me that if it something that appears in our conscience and seems to have autonomy,we are in presence of a complex. Jungian psychology provides little techniques and is a lot of just understanding,but if somebody would ask me how to work on this,I would say,write it down,write down what those voices say to you,then go back and read it.Do it on a daily basis.

ABSOLUTELY LOVED this podcast AGAIN! You girls talk heart to heart and I feel like I'm a part of it. I resonate with what you both say on so many levels! And I loved Jenna's prediction that 'it is coming to us' - if it's something we feel is destined to be ours! - Ambi - living at the beach... ahhh I feel you :) love you girls xoxo

Oh em gee! This podcast is just what I needed to hear. I was beating my brain up so bad because of what?.....INSTAGRAM! It can be fun and somewhat encouraging to push me to try new things and follow inspiring people...BUT....ig is soooooo discouraging too. It makes you feel like your life isn't good enough. Makes you become unintentionally ungrateful. Its so crazy! Causes some tension between friends and crazy competition. Ugh im glad im not the only one feeling this. Taking a mental break from media. Lol.

Ladies,I'm so delighted I came across your podcast! As a writer, I struggle with the "inner-critic," I still do. This year I set my intention to redress this so I and my Trilogy can move out into the wider world. Your podcast appeared randomly on my timeline, like magick! 😊 Thank you so much and keep up the wonderful work! I'm off to listen to the others now.

LOVED this podcast! It's way too easy to get taken down by the often times out of control inner critic. I loved your insight. Meditation, yoga, and conscious observation of (vs. emotional engagement with) the inner critic have been so powerful for me in letting the negative chatter go. Thank you so much for your honesty and wisdom - it's very inspiring. <3

Hi! I just wanted to say how in love I am with MLF! It’s been such a wonderful tool in helping me look at myself and my world in a new light. Thank you! Also this particular podcast was great because I oftentimes find myself becoming so jealous of others through comparison and it’s truly toxic. I totally agree with digging deeper into those triggers and finding the root of why they are affecting us so deeply. Comparison is the death of joy! 💕
