#10: Dealing with your inner reviewer 2
About this episode
Does writing make you anxious? Is having any original idea immediately followed by a nagging voice in your head telling you that it's probably rubbish? That's your inner reviewer 2. Here's how to deal with her.
In this episode, you're going to learn 4 useful strategies for responding to your inner reviewer 2:
- Acknowledge that she's there and that she's making things hard for you
- Recognise that she's actually trying to help - it's just that she's not very good at it
- Rethink the relationship between your inner reviewer 2 and your motivation and growth
- Schedule her criticism: tell her to come back later, when she won't cause so much chaos
