How to Lose Your Inner Critic & Experience a More Fulfilled Life ft. Sue Erhart - Ep. 100

Recounting Life Lessons

In this episode of Recounting Life Lessons, Sione and Alana sit down with Sue Erhart, author of Lose Your Critic for Good and the creator of Practical Spirituality, to uncover what it takes to quiet our inner critics and live a life that is full of more joy and empowerment.

Sue is someone who shares practical tools and wisdom for creating your best life, and in this episode, she shares the experience that started the journey to finding out why she prioritized the expectations of others over her own inner needs, why reaching her goals left her unfulfilled, and what whe discovered along the way.

IN THIS EPISODE:

• The difference between goals that drain you and those that propel you forward
• The truth about success that most people miss
• Why chasing external achievements often leaves you feeling unfulfilled (and what to do instead).
• How to reframe obligations and expectations so they fuel joy instead of stress.
• A simple yet powerful tool Sue uses daily to orient the mind to seeing the good, wonderful, and accomplishments of each day
• A surprising and powerful self-love practice people rarely talk about

A FEW GOLDEN NUGGETS FROM THE CONVERSATION:

• Being hard on yourself only gets you so far, and if you really want to soar and do big things, you've go to dismantle that critic.
• When you tap into your inner essence and start doing things driven by want, passion, interest, and curiosity, it's like jet propulsion versus sitting there saying, "I have to"
• We've been conditioned to adopt goals based on external cues and expectations over inner wants, often realizing too late that they don't bring fulfillment
• We all have obligations and responsibilities, but the words we use and how we frame them will affect our experience
• Use a logbook to record the good, the wonderful, and the done throughout your day instead of a traditional to-do list
• The inner critic shows up in many ways: self-criticism, playing small, settling, conforming, or putting everyone else first.
• The only one who can do the job of self-love for you is you
