How To Become Your Biggest Advocate
If someone asked you to name five things you love about yourself, would you be able to list them off the top of your head? Or would it take some real thought? Maybe, you’d even struggle to reach five.
But, if you were asked to list five things you dislike about yourself, would you find that much easier? Perhaps you’d struggle to stop at five!
If that sounds familiar, then know you are not alone. Most people are their own biggest critics.
But not everyone is, and you don’t have to be either.
Why are we so hard on ourselves?
Self-criticism is so widespread that you could be forgiven for thinking it’s our natural state. But it’s not.
We are all born with the most profound sense of self-worth. This self-worth is connected to the unique set of values we are also born with. However, somewhere during childhood and adolescence, we often abandon these values to gain acceptance from those around us.
We adopt the values of our community, of the adults we depend on for survival (parents, teachers, authority figures) as our own. We lose sight of what makes our mind, body, heart, and soul sing.
Perhaps you’ve felt like you needed to choose a particular romantic partner to please your family, or maybe you didn’t pursue the career you dreamed of because you feared your parents wouldn’t support or respect your decision. These are both examples of living someone else’s values. And it leads to unhappiness, unfulfillment, and resentment.
How does self-criticism affect us?
On average, we criticize ourselves eight times a day. With that much criticism flying around, it can be hard to see the damage it’s doing to our self-esteem, success, and happiness over time.
Overcoming self-criticism is the key to living a life of joy, meaning, and abundance — something leading success coach, Alexis Artin, knows all too well. Alexis has spent two decades propelling people to incredible levels of success and fulfillment, so it’s safe to say she knows a thing or two about how to create the life of your dreams.
Her number one secret? Be your biggest advocate.
Why is it so important to be your biggest advocate?
If you’re currently your biggest critic, imagine how it would feel if, instead, you became your most loving ally.
Think of all the things you’ve held back from because you didn’t believe you were good enough, smart enough, attractive enough, etc.
Now imagine if you told yourself you could do those things and do them well. What could you achieve? Think of the success, love, happiness, and abundance that would be available to you.
The truth is: you can be successful. You can be happy. You can have a healthy, loving relationship. You can manifest whatever you most desire by changing your mindset from self-criticism to self-advocacy.
It’s what Alexis refers to as the “mastery mindset.”
