I wish I had subscribed to your channel a couple of years ago when I found it but I’ll get rid of the negative self talk and tell myself how grateful I am to have decided to learn from your presentations.
Thank you for this. I just started a very intense professional writing position. My colleagues are all incredible writers, which has resulted in a lot of feedback that broke my confidence. It’s unintentional, but it’s really caused me to be fearful of writing and generate a lot of negative thoughts toward my work. With this advice, I can rebuild my self-esteem.
My inner critic was right, I was crap to begin with but we have to start bad and practice to get better. I discovered this with writing and more recently with my drawing which was also crap but now better after three years of practice and learning. It's official, success is 1 % talent and 99% hard work. : (
Thank you very much for this talk. Actually, I've been soliloquing negatively most of the time, during recent months. And it is no better when I try to write. In two months I hardy wrote 5000 words.
I have that voice a lot of times, And many times it's true and what I just wrote just isn't right. But unlike the many hobbies I've had before that cost thousands of dollars to make a change or a fix... all I need to do is DELETE!
Ha! So true. The inner voice can be good. That "tightrope" I spoke about in the video. But fixes are easy as you say. Revise or delete. Too many writers think of themselves as airline pilots who must land the plane perfectly or crash and burn killing hundreds. They don't see the middle ground. Negative self-talk is usually catastrophic in nature and inappropriate for writers.

Another great video to make us think. Thank you.
Thank you so much. I get a way to free my mind from the suffering of the inner negative sound. I hope to have a good writing day.
Thanks...balance is a beautiful word!

Thank you! And now I feel a need to put on some Funkadelic! "Free your mind, and your ass will follow." :D :D :D
Guilty. But I have named three ways to improve my self-talk!
