Why Beating Yourself Up Backfires
That harsh voice in your head?
It’s not keeping you sharp—it’s keeping you stuck.
Self-criticism activates your nervous system’s fight-or-flight mode. It drains your energy, hijacks your focus, and shuts down your learning.
But there’s another way.
You can turn your inner critic into an inner ally—with self-compassion.
It’s not fluff. It’s neuroscience.
What shifts when you speak to yourself the way you’d speak to a friend?
DM me “ALLY” if you’re ready to retrain that inner voice and lead from calm, clarity, and confidence.
