Subject: What’s your inner critic saying to you?
Preheader: - get some relief

Hey there %user.name_f%,

Do you talk to yourself?

Most people do.

Some people do it out loud.

More often though, people do it internally.

(raised hand here, that's me 👋)

Let's be honest…

that inner voice isn't always the kindest.

It often whispers, "Oops, shouldn't have said that."

Or groans, "I messed up again! What was I thinking?!"

And while I don't think we all experience this voice in the same way, in my time as a Trainer for Nonviolent Communication, I've learned that lots of us have our own internal chatterbox.

Students have told me…
>> it pops up even when they are feeling good
>> it finds reasons to worry
>> it influences decisions they are making
>> and tells them when they've done something "wrong".

This voice - as unhelpful as it might seem sometimes - stems from a complex mix of human evolution and our own past experiences.

Back in caveman days, it would've been pretty risky being the outcast in the cave.

And zip forwards to now, I think most of us have felt the discomfort of making mistakes.

…Just imagining the look of disapproval on someone else's face can be enough to make us pivot on a choice we're about to make.

Thing is,

that voice serves a purpose — it's trying to protect us.

But sometimes it holds us back from becoming the person we're capable of being.

Of doing the things we dream of.

Good news for you! Starting Monday, July 1, Yvette Erasmus is coming back to the NVC Academy for her second course with us this year.

In From Inner Critic to Inner Coach: Unleash Your Deeper Potential, Yvette will help you overcome your relentless inner voice, so you can follow your heart, take more risks, and connect more deeply with yourself and others.

In this 5-week course, Yvette will cover:

• The roots of our judgmental self-talk — and why we do it
• Why shushing your inner critic doesn't work — and what actually does
• Techniques to replace harsh self-criticism with uplifting self-talk
• Practical tips to dial down self-doubt and ramp up self-trust

She'll teach you how to apply the principles of Nonviolent Communication to your internal critic — to help you cultivate self-acceptance, celebrate your strengths and begin to unlock your hidden potential.
