For some reason, the harshest voice in our head is our own.
Your day hasn’t even started, but the loop’s already playing:
“You’re not good enough.”
“What will they think?”
“You’ll screw it up.”
Sound familiar? Same here.
In this post, I’m sharing 5+1 simple, real tips to help quiet that noise.
No miracle cures—just small things that might help you take back some control.
Give one a try. Or five plus one.
These are just ideas. Maybe something else works better for you. But if you’ve read this far, that already means something.
The goal isn’t perfect silence in your head—just not having every thought followed by a self-inflicted punch.
Drop a comment with your favorite tip—or just say “read it, and I’m not alone.”
Whatever you chose, you’re not alone — and simply noticing it? That’s already a win.
