Though many of us are unaware of it, everyone has messages running through their head. Some of the messages are positive: 'Well done, that was great', or neutral, 'What am I going to have for dinner?' But for many people the messages are negative and self critical: 'Why did you go and say that?', 'You'll never be successful', 'You're pathetic'. These messages have a profound impact on how we feel and behave, and ultimately they affect how happy and successful we are in life. This is the first book to provide a range of tried and tested techniques for transforming your inner critic. By using these techniques you can transform your thoughts, feelings and behaviour to become a happier person. This book covers such topics as: Understanding your inner critic Listening to your whole self and not just your inner critic Being proud of yourself and your strengths Releasing your inner wisdom Handling criticisms from others Creating more fun in your life
