There's probably a thread for this already, but I was just wondering how people keep the inner critic under control. I am trying to make conscious all the things I tell myself unconsciously. I've identified a few, and I think I've traced some of them back to their source. There's one that runs along these lines:
I’m lazy and I don’t deserve to enjoy any kind of success in life. I have a weak character, no appreciable intellect, no work ethic, questionable morals, and I am not to be trusted with any kind of responsibility. I would be one of Satan’s minions on earth, but I’m too lazy to even apply for the position.
