Some things that I have learnt/ been reminded of lately: ✨ Our inner critic wants to have us believe that we are not capable of moving forward/ achieving goals if we are not hard on ourselves and lead with compassion. 
 ✨Our inner critic not only places a large amount of pressure on ourselves to show up/take action, but at the same time tells us that we are not capable or good enough. What a bloody dichotomy :-) I have named my inner critic “Andrea”. 🙂 ✨ I have found that whenever I am having a hard time showing up and doing my usual activities, if I lead with the intention to take care of myself and do the things that I know will make me feel better, I will get a better result than leading with a sense of duty because I feel like I “should” or “have to”. 
 ✨You are not alone, at all! There are people that love and care for you although your mind and beliefs may be trying to convince you otherwise. 💛
