That critical voice in your head can sound very convincing.
“You should have done better.”
“You’re not doing enough.”
“You always mess this up.”
But meditation teaches us something important: a thought is not automatically a fact.
In this episode of Why Can’t I Meditate?, we explore how to notice the inner critic without automatically believing everything it says. Rather than fighting with that voice or trying to silence it, we’ll practice creating a little space around it and asking one simple question:
“What else is true?”
This episode includes This Week’s Gentle Practice and a short guided meditation to help you recognize self-critical thoughts, soften around them, and make room for a kinder, more balanced perspective.
The inner critic may be part of your experience…
but it isn’t the whole story.
