Why Your Inner Voice Is So Mean & How It Affects Your Recovery

Why is your inner critic so freakin' mean?? We all have that inner monologue - We talk to ourselves all day long. We debate with ourselves about eating another cookie, or drinking another cup of coffee, or how to respond to an email. Regardless of the topic, we hear that inner critic running through our head all day. At times this little voice can actually be helpful and keep you motivated toward reaching goals—like when it reminds you that what you're about to eat isn't healthy or what you're about to do may not be the best decision. But oftentimes, this voice can be more harmful than helpful, particularly when it gets into excessive negativity that can really bring you down. Basically, negative self-talk is any inner dialogue you have with yourself that may be limiting your ability to believe in yourself and your own capabilities. It isn't just stressful; it can also make it difficult to get motivated and achieve the things you want for your life and family. Today we’re talking about that inner voice we all struggle with: * why it’s so mean sometimes * how it’s holding you back from getting the life and recovery you really want.   Links mentioned in this episode:  Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/addictionunlimited Want to work with Angela?
