Silence Your Inner Critic & Ditch Imposter Syndrome Now!

you are minimizing yourself, when you are not doing the thing that you need to do and that you really deep down desire to do, recognize that is imposter syndrome and your inner critic is keeping you from playing small and saying things to you, you're not good enough, who are you to do that? All of those sorts of things that we probably hear hundreds and hundreds of times today and being able to shuts that inner critic down quickly. I've tried everything, nothing works. And so I walked him through a process of being able to flick his inner critic off his shoulder and physically have that action of flicking and then telling it to F off. And he got into a habit of doing that every single time he heard the voice. And very quickly he was able to shut it down and replace that voice with something a bit more positive. Yes, I can. Yes, I'm doing it. Now I'm doing it. And it just happened. And within the space of just a few weeks, he sent me a lovely email saying, when I walked into your room, I wanted to walk straight back out. And everything you were saying just sounded like a load of rubbish, but you made me implement it just for a week. And the difference has been profound. And then fast forward a few more weeks through taking on a few more steps that I teach in the book. He then was able, he got his promotion. He had started dating, he had started playing his guitar in local bars and was getting known for being a great musician, and he got a significant pay rise with his work that he had been after for quite a long time. And he just could not believe how— not how easy it is, but how simple the process is to be able to shut down the inner critic and ditch the imposter syndrome. He, he's one of my favorite stories because I talk about this to women, but men resonate with it as well.
