Wow, can I relate to Kari! My entire professional career was self-training, seeking more information about a subject, pushing to get the MBA in my 50's, working hard, and being promoted for it. My inner critic still gets to me once in a while. It's gotten better over the years...yet, still lingering in the back of my mind. Great talk, Kari!
This is exactly what I need to cure my 20years of Anorexia. I shall listen to this everyday as it has given me the light I haven’t received since ❤ Thank you ❤
This is amazing! Thanks Ms. Romeo so much for speaking. It’s enlightening and inspiring to so many people. I saw this last year and searched for an hour to find it again.
Brilliant talk with relevant, relatable, and real-personal stories with an easily understood and impactful message. Thank you Tedx and Kari Romeo for this wonderful presentation! I struggle a lot with a savage inner critic. This is one step closer to loving myself better! :)
I was wondering what charity water has to do with the title - then realised: gush, that's advertisement why I let that run on? - you might ask... - because I was reading the comments section! have you ever been in the same shoes? made me laugh at myself back to the topic: I still catch my inner critic and sometimes that piece is sooo loud - I found that talking to that part of me and giving it love helps a lot
My Inner Critic refuses to learn any “new story.” After all, my Inner Critic was right with me, watching this video, and she is *_absolutely not buying it._* For this and/or other reasons, ma’am, following your recommendations made things much, much worse - in lasting ways. Please help.
Of course she won't buy it. She's your critic, she's never gonna want you to tell yourself something positive, so she wants you not to buy it. You still have to choose to not believer her and tell yourself positive things
SingTalkLaughLi Lize Futcher I I’ve no idea how to cause myself to not believe that belief. Is there a procedure? Also, telling myself “positive things” immediately and vastly increases my despair and feelings of inferiority. I discovered this at age four, and it’s still true. If I “tell myself positive things,” I quickly stop wanting to keep alive. That is not a risk I can take.
It sounds like you could use counseling, or talk to a doctor to screen for mental health illness. This ted talk lady can motivate you, but not fix all problems. In the mean time just having awareness that your inner critic is not always right will help. Also maybe the critic is right, like this lady spoke about being overweight she is, but she realized beating herself up didnt help her. She still is a worthwhile pretty person. It's knowing that no one can make you love or hate yourself, that's up to you. Others thoughts on you hold little value. If you need help to get this professionally there is no shame in that at all.
@@KateGladstone I think it's time you looked into what happened when you were 4 to make you become this way You could have been abused physically, emotionally, or verbally When traumatizing things happen at such a young age they can grip onto you for life I'm not a professional by any means but I have struggled (and am still struggling) through some stuff myself which is the only reason I can tell you. If you don't get to the root of the problem, you can't fix the problem Ask some family members if they remember anything that happened when you were at age 4 that could have left such a massive impact Also as said in the above comments, I think you need to speak to a real therapist or anything of the sort that could help you uncover those deeply rooted problems
I don't think it's a great idea to go balls to the wall American style optimism. I think it's better to recognise reality. That means excising the distortions that emotional thinking introduces. If you're too optimistic, you're going to make bad decisions just the same as if you were despondent. If you tend towards despondency, then I think a little (or a lottle) optimism certainly wouldn't hurt.
There's a difference between "toxic positivity" and grandiosity vs. positive self-talk. But I agree with you, balanced emotions and perspectives are important. As a Canadian, I think I understand what you are trying to convey by "American style optimism", but I disagree that it has anything to do with being American. Grandiosity and toxic positivity are universal behaviours regardless of where one lives, in my experience.

You got the MBA when you were in your 50's. That's amazing.

Jill S I’ve been through lots of counseling. I’ve been through lots of doctors. I worked hard in therapy, and got worse.
