Hey friend,

This week I just wanna drop in quickly to share something short with you. I read this quote recently, that really made me think and question my inner critic. But before I go on, let me ask you this:

Do you ever stop to think about how you actually talk to yourself?

The reason why I ask is because this quote I mentioned made me realize how hard I can be on myself. And I’m pretty sure I’m not alone in that. The quote was:

“If someone was as critical of me as I am of me, I wouldn’t spend an hour around that person. And yet I have to spend 24 hours with this person every single day.”

Reading these words made me realize how often I let my inner critic put me down. Specially when it comes to how I run my own company — I’m a horrible boss to myself! 😅 I tend to push myself waaay too hard and I put these enormous expectations on myself. Honestly, if my boss had behaved like that back when I was an employee, I would’ve quit the very same day.

So here’s my tip to you:

Do your best to reframe those negative thoughts. And when your inner critic shows up, ask yourself how you would talk to a friend in that same situation. Then talk to yourself as if you were that friend. It’s time to stop being so tough on yourself and start being kind to yourself.

And hey, I promise I will do my best to follow my own advice 😉 Next time I hear my inner critic have a go at me, I’ll say:

True North Academy needs your input!

Over the last few months, I’ve been working on something special. The True North Academy — a 4 week LIVE online course focusing on self-discovery. I’m SO excited about this!

We start filming for the online course on June 4th. But before that, I would love to get some help from YOU. Because I really want to create this course together with you, in order to turn it into exactly what you want and need.

It would make me SO happy if you could take a minute of your life to answer 3 quick questions 🧡 Just click on the button below and it will take you to the survey.

Thank you for being so awesome!

🎵 Song: Wish You The Best, by Lewis Capaldi

This song was released just a couple of days ago and wow… It completely broke my heart, but in the best way possible. Such a beautiful song.

🎥 Documentary: Lewis Capaldi - How I’m Feeling Now

This brand new, and very personal, documentary is the perfect example of how fame and money does not equal happiness. It truly shows how important it is to really stay true to yourself, at all times. Find the documentary on Netflix.
