    9 Readers Comment on The Inner Critic Advantage

    / No Comments

    Earlier this week I commented to a friend that I was feeling stuck — just couldn’t seem to get my mojo mo-ing. My brain needed a kick in the butt. I don’t *think* the struggle has been with my inner critic: the stuck feeling is pretty irrational. I’m involved with some wonderful projects that are moving toward fruition. Perhaps that stuckness has more to do with projects moving  at a reasonable pace; perhaps I’m missing the adrenalin rush that comes barreling toward an impossible deadline at…

    Facing Fear: A New Question for That Voice in Our Heads

    / 9 Comments
