Personify Your Inner Critic
And Get Out of Your Own Way
You know that voice in your head. The one who tells you you're not good enough, you're doing it wrong, or you shouldn't even bother.
Meet Gladys
I call my inner critic Gladys.
She's an angry older woman with horn-rimmed glasses, a permanent scowl, and a lot of opinions about what I should and shouldn't be doing.
Gladys is fed up and probably a blocked artist herself. She thinks that she’s keeping me safe by trying to keep me from taking risks, in art and in life.
Honestly, once I gave her a name and a personality, it got a whole lot easier to recognize when she was running the show. Now I simply thank her for her opinion, and keep moving forward,

A little about me
I've been working with art and creativity as a way to understand ourselves, get unstuck, and make changes for three decades. This exercise is one of the ways I use art and creativity to make something that can feel abstract a lot more tangible.
You don't have to consider yourself an artist to do it. You just need something to draw with and a little curiosity.
