Just recognizing that that voice inside you saying you need to go for perfection is not true. Nobody loves you if you say to someone: well, if you had a friend who was in that position.
Ever wondered why that pesky inner critic never seems to shut up? In this episode of 'Sideways', Graham Landi and Martin Pankhurst dive deep into the origins of negative self-talk and how it can mess with our heads. Celebrating his 11th year of sobriety, Martin shares a quirky tale about a ghostly marriage, offering a light-hearted contrast to the serious topic at hand.
The duo also takes a nostalgic trip down memory lane with contrasting memories of Bonfire Night and an unexpected connection to the saxophone. Graham and Martin don’t just stop at identifying the problem; they roll up their sleeves and provide actionable tips to help you hush that inner critic. From understanding how critical parenting can shape our self-evaluation to sharing personal stories of battling self-doubt, they cover it all.
They emphasize the importance of self-compassion, therapy, and ditching perfectionism for a more balanced life. One memorable quote from the episode reminds us that nobody loves us if we constantly strive for perfection, driving home the point that it's okay to be imperfect. This episode is a blend of humor, heartfelt stories, and practical advice, making it a must-listen for anyone struggling with negative self-talk.
Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or just looking to improve your mental well-being, Graham and Martin offer a warm, relatable space to explore these issues. Tune in and start your journey towards silencing that inner critic and embracing self-compassion.
