WHEN OUR INNER-CRITIC BOSSES US AROUNDSome of us have an inner-critic. It harasses us all day long with thoughts such as –It’s your fault your kids act the way they do.If you would only (fill in the blank) then your kids would behave.If you were a better parent, everything would be better.If you weren’t parenting from your past, your kids wouldn’t struggle.You’ll never be a great parent.If this is you, I get it. I have an inner critic and it tried to boss me around. The Bible says we are supposed to take every thought captive. When my inner-critic is sending out thoughts, I need a giant lasso to grab them all. It’s not one thought. It’s a barrage of them. So, how do we handle it? And here’s a note, if you think when your kids are grown, the inner-critic quiets down, think again. There are plenty of “If you had only…” thoughts. Grab a coffee and join me as I share two approaches to combat the inner-critic and how to combat Mom-Guilt!
