inner critic

The inner critic is that voice inside your head and that feeling in your gut that holds you back from anything it deems as scary, different, new, or against your culture.

The Inner Critic's voice is a manifestation of fear that you will not be OK.

One way to get around your critic is to do small things often. Drip by drip you can make a lot of change, a few minutes at a time.

This is a major reason why tilling a Digital Garden can help you Practice In Public and make small but powerful steps towards advancing your work.

The Inner Critic goes by other names as well: The Resistance, The Shadow, Jill Bolte Taylor's Character 2, and the Lizard Brain.
