Inner Champion

Too often we are our own worst critic.

An internal voice that spews derision.

Inflicting on psyche a deep incision.

Way of being corrosive, acidic.

I wonder if its possible to shift?

To fight for ourselves, speak up for our cause.

Seek to defend and vigorously applaud.

Champion our good, steer us when we drift.

Solid advice if you have 10mins to spare…

So this is for Eugi’s weekly prompt – this week its ‘Champion’, check it out. It inspired me to think about champion not as a ‘winner’ but in its meaning to ‘advocate’, for another or a cause, and then ultimately for how we can be our own champion.

  5. It sadly can be a human tendency to be overly self-critical — turning an important aspect of good conscience, namely mindfulness, into a negative. I guess, Laura, it is better than having no self-control.

    1. Yes it’s a useful facet – although I find it takes effort to keep the inner dialogue balanced & away from too much negative
