Hello, everyone, and welcome to Week Four of the dare to create free workshop series. So, this week, during my Thursday lives, I been talking a lot about goals. And in the latest ones, we looked at setting goals and staying the course. And you know, even when the going gets tough, however, sometimes there is an inner voice that stops you from actually moving forward. And so we need to look at this in order to be able to set goals for life, and then move forward with them and put them into practice. Now, my name is Elisa Di Napoli, if you haven't met me before, I also go by a disabled purse, which is my performers name. And one of the things that I do that I'm passionate about is that I help creatives get their projects out there into the world. So they can share their gifts, their unique gifts, and shine their unique light into the world. Because let's face it, the world needs it, especially this side. Now, if you don't deal with the inner critic, you will not move forward. in life in general, especially when you set goals, the voice will get louder and louder and louder, that you will believe in more and more, and eventually can lead to paralysis, even creative block. So today, I want to share with you a fun way to work with it. Now let me just check, whoever is online at the moment, if I can see any comments, feel free to send me a message or leave a comment. Hello, Margo. I can see you. So let's start then. How do you deal with the inner critic? Well, there's many techniques, right? Some people think that we should argue with it almost as if we're in a tribunal. And we've got, you know, the accusation, lawyer, the prosecutor, we've got defense, other people think that we should silence it, which banish it with rituals. But the thing is, although some of these techniques may work, to some extent, what you resist tends to persist. So I wouldn't recommend using these Hello, shallotte, I would, I would didn't recommend using this technique, because doesn't really work 100% sometimes it can actually cause more of a problem rather than help you to find a solution. So today, we're going to find a fun way to deal with this. And first of all, before we get into the nitty gritty, because this is going to be a very hands on workshop. So we're going to do actual exercises, not just me talking. But just before we get on to that. I want to you know, a lot of people ask me, Well, why why do we have this inner critic, you know, is it just me. And a lot of us think that it's just us that it's just, there's something wrong with me, and I'm so negative on everyone else doesn't have this voice? Well, the good and bad news is that everyone has got this voice to a certain extent, to a more or lesser extent. And it tends to be an internalized parent voice. Now, that doesn't mean that it comes to your parents in May, especially if you had very critical parents. But it could come from other people as well, like siblings or teachers. Basically, it comes from negative conditioning, and the world is full of negative conditioning. So it's part of being human, we all have it. But when we internalize it and it becomes unconscious, that it takes charge, and then we have no way of dealing with it. So the first step is that we need to become aware of the voice. And the second step is that we need to not take it so seriously. And the third step is that we need to replace it with much more nurturing, loving, compassionate permission statements, permission statements to just be us. So let's start with the practical side of this workshop. And so if you
