Heal You Inner Critic

What is an inner critic, essentially?

It's a voice that is telling you to pause, and stop from whatever it is that you are attempting to do, think, feel or explore. The inner critic often has a worry that you won't be ok; "What if things go terribly horribly wrong?"

So, It's that time of year. Spring Break. Holiday Vacation.
