How to Soften the Inner Critic's Voice

Ep. 1 — What if I told you that just 10 minutes, you could soften that critical voice in your head?

About this Episode

What if self-doubt isn’t your enemy but a misunderstood ally? In this 5-minute episode, you'll be guided through the RAIN Method, a gentle mindfulness practice to soften your inner critic and cultivate self-compassion.

  • Recognize self-doubt in your body (without judgment).

  • Allow difficult emotions to exist (no toxic positivity here).

  • Investigate what your doubt is trying to protect you from.

  • Nurture yourself with kindness (yes, you’re allowed).

End with a journal prompt to deepen your insights. Perfect for overthinkers, introverts, and anyone craving a quieter mind.

Follow along with the Mindful Journal Club at community.mindfuljournal.club.

🌿 Affirmation: “My worth is not measured by my doubts. I am enough, exactly as I am.”

Key Takeaways

  • Self-doubt often masks fear or a need for protection, not failure.

  • You don’t have to “fix” doubt; curiosity can soften its grip.

  • Writing to your doubt (instead of fighting it) builds self-trust.
