Amazing Life Changing Podcast - 5 Stars
by GolfGirly23
I absolutely love this podcast!!! I just happened to stumble upon Trish's podcast the other day and I'm so thankful that I did! This podcast truly has been life-changing. I have learned so much in just the short amount of time that I have been listening! I have been able to take what I have learned and apply it to my life. I have never listened to a podcast that has had such an impact on my life! I knew I was a perfectionist but I didn't realize the crippling effect that it had on my life until now. I also love that Trish incorporates faith-based episodes. It's always so good to have the lies that the enemy wants us to believe covered in God's truth! Trish thank you for opening your heart and sharing it with the world, and for speaking God's word over the enemy's lies. You are amazing and I am so glad that I found your podcast! Much love and blessing from a new fan! Sincerely, thank you!
REWIRING THE SELF-CRITICAL MINDSET
Identify first where the self-criticism comes from.
-A critical voice in your life? Was there a primary one or multiple ones?
-What does your self-critical voice say?
-What is the pressure you feel and why does it stem from being self-critical?
-I have a critical voice in my life - and I have to realign boundaries and expectations around them; I've learned that I will never get the praise or approval I crave from the person, so I have to let go. What do you need to let go of?
You are not a victim of your thoughts.
You are the driver of your thoughts.
You are not a victim to the thoughts or expectations of others.
You are the decider of who's voice matters.
“Remember, you have been criticizing yourself for years and it hasn’t worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens.”
-Louise L. Hay, You Can Heal Your Life
“Our reaction to self-criticism is more important than the self-criticism itself. Paying attention to our reactions is very important because the only thing we have control over is how we react.”
-Yong Kang Chan, The Disbelief Habit: How to Use Doubt to Make Peace with Your Inner Critic
“Self-criticism, on the other hand, is anathema to self-compassion. Once we learn to stop judging ourselves, we can look upon our lesser talents with compassion.”
-Karen Rinaldi, It's Great to Suck at Something: The Unexpected Joy of Wiping Out and What It Can Teach Us About Patience, Resilience, and the Stuff that Really Matters
Comparison is toxic.
-We each have certain amounts of talent, some more, some less.
-We are responsible for what we have been given. Not that of others.
-Free yourself by being a good steward
Distraction will keep you dead.
-Busyness keeps us stagnant
