I Blocked Her for You
(How to Shut Down Negative Self-Talk With Daily Affirmation Rituals)
You know that voice. The one that whispers “You’re not good enough.” Or “Who do you think you are?” Or my personal favourite — “Let’s just not even try, so we don’t look stupid.”
Yeah, her. Good news: I blocked her for you. 🔥
And you’re about to learn how to do it yourself — every damn day.
Because here’s the truth: You can’t step into your next level of greatness while dragging around the dead weight of your own criticism. It’s time for a vibe check. It’s time for affirmation rituals.
🚫 Your Inner Critic: The Original Troll
Your inner critic isn’t some enlightened, helpful advisor. She’s that toxic troll living rent-free in your brain, throwing shade every time you even think about shining.
And guess what? She's loud because your brain was wired for survival, not success. (Blame the neuroscience — the negativity bias is real.)
But today’s survival doesn’t look like outrunning a saber-tooth tiger. It looks like overcoming self-doubt, imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and fear of judgment.
Which means it’s time to evolve your survival strategy.
✨ The Power Move: Daily Affirmation Rituals
Affirmations aren’t just cute Instagram quotes. They’re weapons. Shields. Armor. They’re neuroscience-backed rewires for your brain.
When you practice daily affirmations, you literally train your brain to create new pathways. You’re teaching yourself to expect success, worthiness, and possibility — instead of defaulting to fear.
It’s not woo. It’s wiring.
And like any muscle, the more you flex it, the stronger it gets.
🔥 How to Start Your "Inner Critic Block Party" Ritual
Here’s the no-BS way to shut her down:
1. Catch her in the act. When you hear yourself spiralling, pause. Literally say, “I see you. You’re not in charge today.” (Say it out loud if you have to. Bonus points if you toss in a hair flip.)
2. Replace the trash talk with truth bombs. Example: Inner Critic: “You’re going to fail.” You: “I am learning, growing, and unstoppable.” (Boom.)
3. Ritualise it. Start and end every day with affirmations. Morning mirror pep talks. Sticky notes on your laptop. Phone reminders that pop up and say: “Queen energy only today.”
4. Feel it, don’t fake it. Say your affirmations like you mean them. Affirmations don’t work by reciting — they work by believing. Even if you’re at 2% belief today, say it like you’re at 100%. Belief will catch up.
💬 A Few Affirmations to Get You Started:
- "I am powerful, even when I’m scared."
- "My dreams are valid, my voice is necessary, and my light is unstoppable."
- "Self-doubt does not have the final say — I do."
- "Every day, I grow stronger, wiser, and more unapologetically myself."
- "I block self-hate like it’s spam. 🚫"
🎯 Final Thought:
You didn’t come this far to be bullied by your own mind.
You are not the mean girl. You are not the critic. You are the damn CEO of your mind.
And today, you’re blocking everything that doesn’t serve the empire you’re building.
Mirror up. Shoulders back. Affirmations ready. Let’s ride.
