Ever catch yourself spiraling into negative self-talk? You’re definitely not alone. That nagging inner critic loves to pop up, but you don’t have to let it run the show. Try these: 1) Notice when it pipes up, 2) Fact-check its claims, 3) Talk to yourself like you would a friend, 4) Use mindfulness to create distance, and 5) Practice self-compassion daily. The more you call it out, the less power it has. What would you say to yourself if that critic wasn’t in charge? #Health #MentalHealth #SelfCare
