Dear Ravi:

Working with this inner critic is a very difficult work that requires incredible amounts of patience with yourself, and gentleness. It is a long term type of work, not an easy fix.

You wrote some time ago how your mother or grandmother won’t let you endure the sensation of hunger and will show up with food wherever you are? Well, the inner critic work is nothing like a hunger quick fix. And you have to endure the distress and discomfort of working to improve yourself with the ongoing critic giving you its unwelcome input.

This is one very important element in becoming stronger: the growing ability to endure discomfort and persist with the work you set for yourself to do in spite of the discomfort, patiently and gently.
