Gently yet firmly whip your inner critic into submission by whispering sweet nothings into her ear.

Tell her, her words and stories are heard and, that she is welcome here in your world. Invite her to have a seat at your table (with all the other parts of your psyche).

Massage her shoulders, give her a kiss on her forehead. Tell her you love her and THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART remind her that YOU ARE IN CHARGE here.

Yes, she can share her opinion, yes she will always be heard and yes (you tell her firmly with pure unadulterated love) you will always challenge her words and stories, because you both know that underneath everything she says, lies her fears.

And her (your) fears are welcome into your world.

Because you know that you have the strength, courage and resilience to STRUT through your fears, that your fears are teachers in their own right and you WELCOME them into your world.

Because ultimately you know YOU ARE AN EMPRESS OF THE HIGHEST ORDER with Angels, Guardian Spirits and Divine Intelligence on your side and nothing/no one (especially yourself) can get in the way of your BRILLIANCE.

Carry on EMPRESS!
