Challenge Your Inner Critic

Tweet

I was diagnosed with major depression with panic attacks years ago. I have always had depression. I am always looking for new ways to be happier. And, today I read a list that included seeking out positive people, donating your time, working up a sweat, and many other helpful things to do but, one I found rather interesting and wanted to put in a discussion. That one is challenging your inner critic. When our inner voice points out things you are doing that may not be so great. We need to notice when it has taken over our mood. It may be letting you know about something that needs your attention. That's a good thing. But, other times it may be totally wrong. We need to challenge it and not let it take us down a black hole of despair.
