Hey guys, it's Trish Blackwell, and you're listening to the Confidence Podcast. This is episode 568.

We're talking about something near and dear to my heart beating yourself up.

Because the chances are you listen to this show because you're driven. You're a high achiever, you tend to overcommit, you have big goals, you've always done.

And with that voice, that high-achieving, overachieving type A driven personality comes the critical self-voice.

It's the voice that says you're not doing enough. It's the voice that says you should be perfect.

It's the voice that says we need to be further along than we are, and it's the voice that will make you feel inadequate, wake up with anxiety, and continue to believe in the ineffective strategy of just well.

Put more pressure on myself. If I'm just a little bit meaner to myself and a little bit more disciplined, and I just do better, well then I'll finally get the results.

So without realizing it, you think you just have to gut it out.

We think we spend years spinning in unhappiness while on the outside to the world around us.

It looks like we're achieving a lot. It looks like we are performing and we're happy.

And yet, most people don't know that you wake up with anxiety or you always feel bad and you feel like you're not doing enough.

And that is what we're going to fix today.

We're going to talk about how to stop beating yourself up, because it destroys your confidence and it's an ineffective strategy.

If you've ever beat yourself up over small mistakes, or you constantly feel like you're falling behind, and you quote-unquote should be doing better than you think you are,

then you're making life harder than it needs to be. This episode is for you.

In today's episode, I'm going to give you 10 reasons to stop beating yourself up.

We're going to talk about how to break the mental habit of beating yourself up, and the key to creating a new reality for yourself.

So, it's going to be good before we dive into quick announcements.
