This was extremely helpful! Thank you! This is very helpful! There is a recurring set of circumstances where my inner critic tries to tell me that there will be a negative outcome. I will put into practice, what you did by getting it placed on something outside of me, naming it, choosing to not let it dictate the outcome, and imagine a positive ending.
