Express Your Passion - Regardless of Outcomes: I especially liked your account of your experience in the Toastmasters competition written in your last ezine (title mentioned above). I agree that the shaming/blaming voices in our heads are a great challenge and would welcome more from you on this matter in the future.
Also, just a business-promotion idea: Why not create a Facebook page for your business. Many of us would be glad to be your "fan" and you'd get some new exposure that way. Dennis
Transforming Inner Critic Comments - An Inspiration by: Teresa
Hi Dennis; Thank you for your suggestion to join Face Book. You were an inspiration to me. I signed up and created a Face Book page today. Hopefully, I will figure out how to create a fan page at some point.
Also, your comment asking for more input from myself on the matter of our challenging shaming, blaming inner voices was very timely. Only a couple of days ago I had to face my inner critic once again. Transforming these critical thoughts is HUGE, imperative lifework. At 55 years of age I am suspecting the inner critic will continue to visit us throughout life (although its power to hijack me or my life is steadily lessening!)
Your request inspired me to write my experience into an article entitled ?Inner Critic Comments Transformed.? (Click to read it.) So, Dennis thank you for your suggestion and comments and for your inspiration!
