Develop a zero tolerance policy for any thoughts, feelings, or messages that devalue you.

Practice paying attention to what goes on on your mind.  Like a movie screen or leaves in a stream, listen to the chatter with enough space as to not automatically agree or fuse with every passing thought that enters your mind. Take captive these thoughts and make them obey. Tread not a passive journey, but be the commander of your vessel, especially in rough seas.

The problem with the critic is the critic.

The most beautiful thing in life is the grace to accept that which isn’t beautiful.
