Write down what your inner critic/censor is saying to you. Then, if possible, find the humor in it. Write back a calm reply, and move on to the next exercise.
Brain: I’m a fraud. I’m a hack. I’m lazy. I’m a bad mom and wife. I’m a selfish narcissist workaholic except I can’t, for the life of me, manage to finish a book. I’m going to end up broke and homeless. I don’t belong, anywhere. Everyone hates me.
