0:00.0	Hi, everybody. It's Jenny. You've probably heard me with Eric on some episodes of the one you
0:04.1	feed. I have a question for you. Are you your own worst critic? I mean, when you pay attention to
0:09.4	how you talk to yourself, is it just kind of mean? And do you often feel down and just heavy inside?
0:15.1	If so, I truly understand the struggle. I used to believe that relating to myself this way was
0:19.6	what kept me performing at any acceptable level. And without it, I thought I'd drift off into the
0:24.5	deep end and become a failure in pretty much every aspect of my life. But it turns out that's
0:29.3	actually one of the inner critics' worst lies that it helps you. I mean, maybe short-term,
0:34.4	you get a push and do well, but long-term, it's corrosive, and it actually keeps you from
0:39.0	living to your potential. I've created a free three-part video series that teaches you how to get to
0:44.1	the other side of the inner critic like I have. And you can grab it today. Just head to 1ufeed.net-inner-critic.
0:51.9	I'm sharing this with you as not only an inner critic survivor, but also a certified mindfulness

1:01.8	and not a sense of being at battle with yourself. And life is so much better when you're a friend
1:06.9	to yourself. I promise. So go to 1ufeed.net-inner-critic for my free mini course. See you in the videos.
1:14.9	We can call it all kinds of things. We can call it a disease, and that's a whole other discussion
1:18.7	to have. But it's really, really different for different people. How people get into this struggle,
1:23.2	how they experience it, and how they ultimately can get out of it.
1:33.9	Welcome to the 1ufeed. Throughout time, great thinkers have recognized the importance of the
1:39.2	thoughts we have, quotes like garbage in, garbage out, or you are what you think, ring true. And yet,
1:46.8	for many of us, our thoughts don't strengthen or empower us. We tend toward negativity, self-pity,
1:53.2	jealousy, or fear. We see what we don't have instead of what we do. We think things that hold us
1:59.2	back and dampen our spirit. But it's not just about thinking. Our actions matter. It takes conscious,
