\"Inner<\/a>Please welcome guest author Pam Sourelis as she shares with us \u201cInner Critic-Inner Judge.\u201d Enjoy!<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Fellow writers,<\/strong><\/p>\n

You know how you feel when someone harshly judges you, and you make the mistake of taking the criticism to heart?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Wrecked. <\/strong><\/h4>\n

The Outside Judge<\/span><\/h2>\n

When we were kids, we didn\u2019t have much choice. But as we grew older, we learned (or are learning or would benefit greatly by learning) that we didn\u2019t have to listen to people\u2019s judgy pronouncements, didn\u2019t have to let their words wreck our confidence, wreck our hearts.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Inside Judge: The Inner Critic\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

But what about the unembodied judges, the ones that pop into the room while we\u2019re trying to write, that hover next to our desks, insisting that we don\u2019t know what we\u2019re doing, that we\u2019re wasting our time?<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re beating yourself up about the quality of your writing or the amount of time you spend on it, if you\u2019re tied up in knots over it<\/strong>, you can be darned sure there\u2019s a judge \u2013 or two or three \u2013 hanging out with you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Who are these nasty creatures? Cultural voices \u2013 often in the mouths of our parents or other loved ones \u2013 who have crept into the very fibers of our being and taken up residence.<\/span><\/p>\n

They need to go.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Several Methods for Removing Judge or Judges\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

I have several methods for removing judges, but they all have one thing in common: They come from a place of kindness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m the one who let the big-mouths in to begin with.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At some point<\/strong>, I listened to them because I thought they were protecting me: from failure, from shame, from isolation from the tribe.<\/span><\/p>\n

I know now that they\u2019re not protecting me one bit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I know now that they\u2019ve become poison.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I know now that I have to ask them to leave.<\/span><\/p>\n

Years ago<\/strong>, a large, swaggering judge started standing behind me as I sat at my desk, writing. I, a former two-and-a-half-pack-a-day smoker, was in the process of freeing myself from this killer addiction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This loud-mouthed judge wanted none of it. He stood behind me going on about how I couldn\u2019t write without a cigarette!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What was I thinking? Who did I think I was? I\u2019d never be able to do it. Anything I wrote would be a total mess.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

I turned in my chair<\/strong>, pointed at the other side of the room, and told him to go stand <\/span>over there.<\/span><\/i> He went.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He tried to creep up behind me a couple more times, but I sent him back. I didn\u2019t yell. I was kind and polite. I just told him where he needed to be.<\/span><\/p>\n

He came back for several days, with the same mouthful of horror. But I just calmly sent him to the other side of the room. He didn\u2019t have to leave; he just had to leave me alone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After a few more days, he stopped coming. I guess he got bored. This was over 20 years ago. I\u2019ve never seen his face again.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ask the Judge To Leave\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Those judges? We need to ask them to leave.<\/span><\/p>\n

What strategy can you create?<\/strong><\/p>\n
