Silence Your Inner Critic


We all have an inner critic that cuts into our self esteem, no matter if it's during our exercise routine, yoga practice or even while we are getting ready for work in the morning. The discipline is silencing this inner critic and changing it for the good.

Instead of looking for flaws within our bodies and mind, look for the greater aspect, such as thanking your body for what it is able to do. You can achieve this before bed in the evenings, or sitting in a cross-legged position after your workout or exercise routine and thanking your body for what you have accomplished.

Thank you brain for the ability to communicate with the rest of your body. If you unhappy with any part of your body, why not change those thoughts to be grateful for what's behind that difficult part of your body that make you self conscience. Be grateful for your lungs, your heart which powers your love feelings, and be grateful your have full use of all of your bodies parts. If you lack the use of one limb, two or even all, be grateful for what you have that does work and what you are able to have. Be grateful, above all that you are alive.

You can't change certain things about your body that are permanent, but you can change the way you look at your body.

Namasté!
