The Perfectionist
Your inner critic pushes you to make everything flawless, often keeping you from starting or sharing your work. This is a reflection of your high standards and care—you want your best self to shine. I created this outcome to help you notice that your attention to detail is a strength, not a limitation. You are thoughtful, meticulous, and driven to do things well, which inspires confidence in others. Allow yourself to take imperfect action, celebrate progress over perfection, and set realistic goals that honor both quality and momentum. Doing so will help you feel accomplished while still growing and expressing yourself freely.
The Comparer
Your inner critic constantly measures you against others, making you doubt your talents and contributions. This is a sign of your awareness and desire for growth—you care about improving and doing well. I created this outcome to help you recognize that comparing yourself is natural, but your unique perspective has intrinsic value. You are reflective, conscientious, and capable of remarkable originality. Focus on your personal progress, celebrate your achievements, and consciously appreciate your strengths. By doing this, you will feel more confident, authentic, and free to express your true self without unnecessary self-judgment.
The Fearmonger
Your inner critic highlights every possible way things could go wrong, keeping you cautious and hesitant. This is a sign of your care and foresight—you naturally consider risks and consequences. Recognize that fear can protect you but doesn’t have to control you. You are prudent, aware, and prepared, which can be powerful when channeled wisely. My recommendation is to take small, intentional risks, embrace failure as feedback, and practice courage in everyday choices. Doing this will help you feel empowered, build confidence, and start expressing yourself boldly.
The Underminer
Your inner critic questions your abilities and worth, telling you that you’re not ready or capable. I see this as a reflection of your humility and desire to do things well—you care deeply about doing your best. Recognize that your instincts and talents are already sufficient. You are thoughtful, resilient, and capable of handling challenges. My recommendation is to affirm your strengths, take ownership of your achievements, and act confidently even when doubt arises. This practice will help you feel empowered, authentic, and free to express yourself fully.
