Tell the inner critic to f*ck off

The inner critic is that voice that puts you down and makes you feel like you’re totally out of place in this life and that your wants and desires will never work. We’ve been aware of them since birth, but have learned to live and swallow them up like a god. Apparently, they’re always there, which I agree. But I don’t agree that they are your inner critic.

What if our luteal phase insomnia is a calling to go deeper and liberate ourselves?

I’ve not been searching for permission after all

Anger has driven me for a long time. And that emotion created an action of defensiveness. I defend myself even when I don’t need to, which has been a deep groove to climb out of.

A time when my internal defenses come down and I’m left standing there naked, feeling like I need someone to rescue me.
