Show of hands - how many of you would consider yourselves skeptics? I know I am! For me, that means I usually don't believe something when I first read or hear it. I like to do my own research and come to my own conclusions, rather than taking someone else's word for it.
But why is it that we don't always follow that same logic for our own thoughts about ourselves?! We're so quick to believe that we're not experienced enough or don't have a perspective worth sharing. We can be far more critical of ourselves than others ever would be, given the same evidence.
What if, instead of giving in to those inner critics so quickly, we challenged those thoughts when we recognize we're having them? What if we asked ourselves, "Is it true?" next time we're passing some self-judgment?
Don't believe everything you think! Instead, think like a scientist. Examine the evidence. And think again.
