We’ve all heard the phrase, “You’re your own worst critic.” Those feelings you can’t quite shake off -- the fear of judgment, embarrassment, or showing who we really are -- they stop us from growing and doing the things we want to do. But why do we believe these negative views of ourselves without question? Why can’t we accept that the things we do are “good enough?” The truth is, it’s become a habit -- and a very deeply ingrained one at that. So often, I see people knock themselves down before...

We all have fears that stop us from doing, achieving, and succeeding. Even after years of training myself, I still have fears and worries just like everyone else! I’ve learned from being a psychologist that worrying doesn’t do us a whole lot of favors, and fear doesn’t get us anywhere good. It’s not to say worry is always a bad thing -- it’s just human nature to get worried sometimes. However, we can worry too much, and that is when it starts to get in the way of our moving forward or pushing t...

I remember slaving over projects constantly, never having time for myself to d...
