The inner critic (Tel Aviv-Yafo street scene)

The inner critic

The inner critic is relentless, always pushing you to meet impossible standards. No matter how much you achieve, it whispers that you’re never truly enough. You might try to silence it and be kinder to yourself, but it stubbornly insists that only perfection is acceptable. This constant internal struggle between striving and self-compassion can be exhausting, leaving you drained and miserable.

True relief comes only when you choose self-compassion. By setting realistic standards, you give yourself permission to be humanβ€”to make mistakes and grow at your own pace. It’s not about lowering your expectations but being kind enough to accept your imperfections.
