Coaching With Geeta

That voice in your head that criticises almost everything you do? It isn't telling you the truth. It's just repeating a habit. Most of the people I coach describe the same inner critic. It magnifies every flaw, dismisses every bit of effort, and treats one setback as final proof that they're not enough. Small choices, big decisions: it disapproves of all of them. Here's what I've learned after years of ontological coaching: that voice was built and shaped early, through comparison, criticism, or impossibly high expectations. And anything that was built can be rebuilt, with the same patience it took to create. The critic gets loudest under stress, reaching for the harshest possible interpretation as if bracing for the worst will protect you. It rarely does. It just makes you more anxious, more hesitant, more likely to second-guess decisions you already made carefully. If your inner voice has become your harshest critic, try this the next time it speaks up: → Name the exact thought, without judging yourself for having it. → Ask: would I say this to a close friend in the same situation? → Swap "I always fail" for a specific, factual observation. → Keep a short record of your effort and progress. Real confidence isn't the absence of self-doubt. It's the ability to act steadily even when the doubt is present. You don't have to silence the critic overnight. You just have to stop believing it's the only voice in the room. What does your inner critic say most often? Naming it out loud is where change begins. I write regularly about the things we all quietly wrestle with: stress, self-doubt, and emotional steadiness.
